I am almost 50, I've gone from owning a home to losing everything twice and starting from scratch due to medical issues, life disasters, family medical disasters and economic crashes and layoffs over and over.
You can do everything right and still end up making no progress in life. Our world promises nothing, nothing should be expected. You will lose a lot of mental health if you can't adapt to the idea that you may not have anything at certain ages.
Owning a home is a massive expense and source of stress that starts falling apart the moment they hand you the key. It's perfectly valid to not feel particularly inspired to take this kind of back-breaking responsibility on before you're more than ready.
Thank you for your wisdom
