Having been a low wage earner, but having owned a house then lived in condos afterwards, I learned to manage money well and that is more important to some extent than earnings. Paid the starter home off in 16 years then paid cash as I moved after that. Now I own nothing having moved and built abroad, but forced back to USA due to covid plandemic. Now houses are crazy priced. 500K for a house older than I am @ 64 so we now rent.
