At 28 I had a 200k house built. 1575 square foot and a garage. 2 bath 3 bedroom.


But where you're at in life will just depend on your income and housing prices where you live. Some people (NYC and Cali) may never be able to afford a home.

24 and owned your own home without PMI and sky high interest rate (assumption)

you were miles ahead of most of our generation at that time.
