I'm in the 25-30 age range and am doing quite well compared to my peers, but I'm coming to the point where I just can't ever see myself owning a home. With paying of my school debt, the thought of coming up with a down payment on a house that is worth living in seems unfathomable to me.
The definitions of success have changed with our generation. Debt is now a normal fact of life for people my age, while my parents generation would view that as a failing. I don't believe I have any friends that do not have some kind of debt, aside for the ones that came from incredibly wealthy families.
