I thank Prexus that I'm now a home owner.

Being younger and not married/settled down makes the decision to buy a house (which is possible on a decent salary) impossible.

I had plenty of house money in my later mid 20's, I was advised to buy a property, didn't do it because I didn't want to be chained down to a certain area as a young guy. Also owning a house by yourself is very weird to me. I couldn't fathom it. I still can't process how I'd make that work even at 30.

And by the time you eventually warm up to the idea, the money is all gone. Spent on the single life.

Getting married early imparts a lot of health benefits I later realized, one of them being its easier to make fiscally sound decisions. I'd have 2 houses by now.
