I was actually just chatting about this recently. I’m very sympathetic, it’s bad out there. But I bought a home at 28 with no college degree. It is doable.

The "no college degree" part is probably why it was doable, college at this point is a literal scam, no matter what you go in for. I spent 4 years getting a stem degree, no partying, graduated cum laude, and couldnt get anything for like 3 months after I graduated, got a gig at a local tech startup that payed barely above minimum wage, and quit because they didnt provide any actual training or mentoring (all the other guys had the same level of experience as me), and essentially havent been able to find full time work in my field since, because theyre all either looking for people currently *in* college (which I got screwed out of because the pandemic happened right in the middle of my college) or just hiring jeets for the entry level jobs.

It’s definitely helped me in my 20’s. I’m trying to do an electrician apprenticeship now hopefully for the rest of my career (to get outta trucking). But I just have a lotta drive. ConPro has helped a lot for advice and direction over the years.

I was part of an electrician technical program in high school, but that was nearly a decade ago and my certification expired.

I did welding way back too. But I think I’d rather do electrician stuff these days.

Yeah it's doable, but what opportunity costs and future wealth are you missing out on? That's the whole point. We bought our house before things got nuts. Because of that I can have a reasonable job, my wife stays home, and we have a bunch of kids we homeschool. Everyone else I know who's "middle class" that bought late has to work two corporate hell jobs and always can't understand how we can swing it. One of the main reasons is because our mortgage payment is 1/3 of theirs.

Sure, I mean I bought rurally so that helps me. I can maintain our lifestyle just trucking. But we’re also working on turning another property into a more self sufficient homestead too, so we’ll take what we can get.

Exceptions to the rule prove the rule. Anything is “possible”. BTW, good on you fren. God bless.

Because you’ll have equity and not nothing from renting?

Not really. My mortgage is cheaper than anything comparable in rent. I have a 5%(((interest))) rate at 20 years so could be worse. I’ve got like 35k in equity into it so far. No other debt
