At my age (26), my pops (52) was able to afford buying a plot of land and was able to build a house. Got married and have 2 kids.
I'm 26 now and while my pay is enough for a single person, I wouldnt be able to afford anything he was able to when he was my age.

I use my grandpa as my comparison, we had the same job. He raised 4 kids in a house with a single income, my wife and I can barely afford a two bedroom apartment with dual incomes.

I'm 35, driving a 15 year old falling apart car and living with my ex because I can't even afford to rent much less buy a house... I'm never having children
