I haven’t afforded it yet and don’t foresee it in my future.

I know one Chinese colleague, she and her husband bought a $2.2m townhouse in Georgetown at 28. It was paid entirely by the parents.

But do keep in mind, they have to take care the parents after they retire. No senior living community, which is considered a shame. I'm not sure I would trade parents help for that.


No, no and no. Please stop with the cultural assumptions.

I’m 28 and only know one person my age with a house this expensive - an heiress whose last name is very well known.

I was a little bit shock to see someone on the forum buying a $1.4m house at 28. We couldn’t afford a $1.2m until 40!
