18 and my first home was a single wide mobile home. Bought my first "house" which was a townhouse when I was 31. Four years later I bought my first single family home, which we lived in for 14 years. We are two houses later and we really like our house we're in now, but I have my doubts that it's our last home.
Moved out at 18, put myself through college, bought my first house at 21. I gave up a lot of fun at the time to buy a house, but I was always practical.
I graduated in 2010 at 24, and didn't get my first "career track" job until I was 27, just a few weeks shy of 28. I didn't get what I would call my first "stable career job" until I was 30.
The mortgage is less than 1/7 of my net pay. I would have done things differently had I know COVID was coming up and that I'd be working from the house full-time, but I made as good of a decision as I could have made with the information I had available at the time.
