Also what do you consider luxury? I guess owning a home is a luxury in your mind.
At 25? We didn't own our first home until 29. And we had to make lots of sacrifices to do so. The wife was driving a civic with 220k miles, my ford had less miles but more problems, no cable, no eating out, the free shitty phones, the couch we brought to our new home was a 40 dollar stained up couch that we threw a blanket over, 15 dollar compressed cardboard coffee table from Walmart that to be covered because spilt liquid would make it swell and contort. We had to slept on a mattress that I had since I was 5 or 6. Etc, etc, etc.
Towards the end of construction we were running out of money and had to do some of the easier jobs ourselves. I spent every weekend, 10hrs a day, putting in work during the last two months of construction.
Oh, and we don't live in the area we wanted. Couldn't afford it and came across a good deal on a lot (price was lowered by 5k to sell it quick).
It's doable, lots of people are still doing it.
