I know what you mean. Partner and I are both working professionals with no kids, and it was still a huge financial stretch to get the house. We even had help from family to get the down payment. I honestly don’t know how most people do it.
My best friend and his fiance bought a five bedroom house in a great area. They’ll never have kids. Her family is loaded and helped out, and that’s how they were able to snag it.
Supposedly family used to only really help at the wedding. These days it’s whenever possible, it seems. I feel like this social structure is going to crash hard eventually.
Oh yeah I’ve been lucky. Only reason it was raised was because a new guy bought the place.
If I could afford buying a house i would have done it years ago.
