    Only good way to get a house by age 30 is to become a plumber, electrician or other type of job that pays well with minimal study and save up while living at parents or sharing a flat with 3 mates.

    Then you need to save heavily and invest in stocks and/or bonds with the saved money so you can beat inflation. With around 30k saved per year it’s possible to get pretty early onto the property ladder.

    Going to college and living somewhere in NYC for example will get you nowhere close to 30k a year with student debt and if you have a kid you’re screwed.
