Saving money is literally the only way to get a house. Let's say you got a roommate and saved $800 a month. That's almost $10k a year. You will get even more if you invest that money, too. Do that for a few years and you'll have a down payment for a house.
Shhh ... people don't want to hear common sense on the Internet. They just want a place to complain that "life isn't fair" because you have to give up one thing to get something else.
