Nope, tbh I don’t think I’ll even be able to afford groceries and other essentials

even if i did, I'm too spoiled to live by myself, my parents left me alone for one week and found out i have barely opened the water heater, ate only twice a day, and didnt buy a bus ticket to college

I have the knowledge and tools to build an 1800s type log cabin. The downfall is you have an outhouse and living closer to Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett than modern day.

Maybe if i work for 10 more years and dont buy anything that isnt a necessity and dont get sick and live through another global disaster that cuts down interest rates

IF I successfully graduate college, and IF I get a decent job with my degree, and IF the housing market stays the same or gets better, I should be able to afford a house by age 35, although I might be paying for it til I'm 85

Now? Obviously not. But in the future, hopefully.

Yes bc I expect my earning potential to increase postgrad. Also I’m an only child and my parents are homeowners

Probably not. Me and my bf are still calculating how expensive rent and utilities will be in an apartment. I can’t imagine a house.

parent
2 points Advanced_Wonder9864

On my own, absolutely not. However I’m lucky to have the help of family around me who will help me buy one in the future. That being said, if I was on my own no way in hell would I afford it.

I’m sure eventually, just will take extra hard work on my part. But if I want my own place best believe I’m gonna get my own place. 🤷

A house? Sure. Could be in the middle of nowhere or not exactly livable sure. But the kind of house my parents bought in their 30s for 200k in socal? A 3bed 2.5 bath house in a nice suburb outside and in greater LA? Yeah, no.

parent

Idk. We want to, but even if we could afford the down payment and monthly payment, I doubt it would be worth it with such high interest rates.

Just bc you can afford something doesn’t mean it’s worth your money.
