Accurate observation, Cyn.
I'm almost 27 and can count on one hand the number of people my age (older, actually... most of them 28-29) who own a house. I think I know exactly three people who own their own house, and that's only been in the last year or so for them. None of them went to graduate school... all have been working since age 22 and just barely saved up enough on their own.
Let it be said that I am FAR from owning a house. I would have to make a hell of a lot more financial sacrifices before that happens. Then again, owning a house isn't a real priority right now... but talk to me when I'm closer to 30.
