+1 Also, it makes me sad that people think the only way someone can have a nice house is to get some kind of handout from a family member because it makes it seem like people can't just work hard, save money and make wise investments. My DH and I came from lower middle class backgrounds, did exactly this with exactly $0 handed to us and we were able to buy a pricey house in our late 20s. I want younger people to know this is possible. You don't have to win the parent lottery (or actual lottery) for this to be possible![/quote]

+1.  It can be done.  But it takes dedication and a plan.  When we saved for a house we were psychotic about saving for over a year.  We didn't have any transportation expenses or really many bills at all.  We put around 70 percent of our income towards savings.  Rented a cheap apartment.  Few trips or clothing purchases.  Cheap cable plan and same for cellphone.  [/quote]
