[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all realize that not everybody is partnered and making a lot of money for years before they have kids, right? It's not like everyone or even most people can buy a small condo in their 20s. Most absolutely cannot get into a starter home which means they cannot use the money they make off that to jump into a more expensive home when kids come. [/quote] My DH and I got our starter house in our early 30s, half an hour outside the beltway, generic 1980s Ryan Homes construction. It took until almost 40 to get into our move up house and we still have a laundry list of updates we want to do. In the meantime we’re enjoying life even if our house isn’t perfect. It helps that we love our close-in neighborhood and we’ve been able to do some updates/a small addition so it feels like progress. You can still move up the property ladder even if you don’t buy a condo in your 20s. 2 incomes does really help though, I will say that. [/quote]
