The idea that an average working person could buy a house in their twenties was only possible: 1) in America, and 2) for the baby boomers generation, maybe for some of Gen X. Nowhere else, never after. This is the exception of exceptions, not a norm.

Be that as it may, I would like to continue at least this part of American exceptionalism. There is still plenty of room in this country for young families to own their own homes.

Millennials could buy houses in their 20s for sure. The early 2010s were some of the cheapest housing prices relative to wages ever.

The entire world watched in awe. Here in Switzerland (a very well-developed country), buying a house is something done in the forties, if you are middle to upper middle class. Otherwise, you rent forever.
