Is that why traffic gets worse and worse? Because people are/were priced out of the city they work in and now have to grind with thousands of others? All for the sake of completing that life goal of home ownership at the potential expense of compromising your
lifespan? Or even your
work-life balance?
Now of course, we're entering a roundabout of discussion about home vs. condo ownership but in my mind. The choice is yours (and your partner's) but as stated above, it will be harder for the next generation of people. More grads = more competition. Also, wages stagnating while everything else rises just puts more and more people in the lifelong renter's block. Not a bad thing as long as they can keep up with that slippery 8-ball. Who knows?
All you can do is try your best at what you're good at and hope for a positive outlook. If not, there's no shame in running back to your parents if it means avoiding a life of 50 hour work weeks while living in a shelter at nights.
