Well, anecdote, but I’ll chime in.

I’m the only person in my friend group able to afford a house in the foreseeable future and that’s been because of various strokes of luck (and some hard work of course).

My wife’s situation is the same. We’re all in our 30s.

And we’re talking any house here. Not the ridiculously expensive ones in major cities.

Som have confided in me that this feels hopeless, things keep getting more expensive, money keeps feeling like it’s worth less etc.

The general feeling at this point is past resentment with them. It’s more of accepted hopelessness.
