Blaming it on the job market is completely misguided. I left home at 18 for college, bought my first house at 24

I actually went to college. I got out I got a decent paying job. I was an engineer with a bachelors degree. I graduated with a ton of school loan debt

And ya did all this, rented an apartment/home, paid for rent, food, utilities, insurance, nearly 5 dollar gal gas, at 18 years old, working at a good paying job, and bought your first home a couple years later?

LOL!

Ya think some private sector, 18 year old kid can do this in today's America?

Most private sector adults nowadays are struggling just to fill their stinking gas tanks!

You're totally, 100% detached from reality.

At 18 I was in college. I worked through college. I paid for my living expenses. My loans paid for my education.

I don’t understand why you think this is so difficult.

You sound alot like my wife’s office mate who complains about not being able to make it on his salary ... while he does nothing but overspend money on credit cards and fills his non-work time playing video games. Sorry bub, some of us make good decisions.
