I agree. We got married in our early twenties and we ended up in student housing since my hubby was still in graduate school. After he finished and got his first job we bought our first home when we were in our mid twenties with a bit of help for the downpayment from both sets of parents. We borrowed 1k from each set of parents and paid them both off at the end of a year.

When we moved in we had maxed out our credit card to buy some furniture and a washing machine. We waited to buy a dryer since we couldn't afford to buy both. I hung out all our clothes to dry instead.

An elderly couple up the street noticed I was hanging out laundry and they bought a new washer and dryer set because their washing machine died. They offered us their old dryer. Their dryer was already old and we ended up keeping it for 11 more years. Nobody makes appliances like they used to, for sure.
