ILs bought in their 40's as DH was finishing HS. They were working on advanced degrees and raised DH in university housing.

I was 39 when we bought our current house (although it was my third, though it had been almost 10 years since my last time owning) and my partner was 47 and he was a first time homeowner.

Thank you for your honest response. I’m not there either. This board makes me feel bad about it sometimes.
