Maybe, but that's how you start out. Sacrifice for five to seven years. You have to start somewhere. Anywhere in your own home is better than paying rent. If you are just starting a career, sharing an apartment with other guys who are also just starting out makes sense. Split the rent four ways so that you can save, save, save, save, save for your down payment on your house. Five to seven years of that, boom, make a down payment and start paying a mortgage on a house you now own. Five to seven years later, now ten to fourteen years into your career, you will have gotten a promotion and a raise. You are making better money, and you sell your house for a 20% mark up. Now you have a bigger down payment, the ability to buy a better home, the ability to pay a larger monthly mortgage. Perhaps you get married, and now you have a second income helping to pay a mortgage. Five to seven years later, repeat. Another 20% mark up on the sale, more money for a larger down payment, better income, smaller mortgage for a better home. Repeat, and repeat, and repeat.
Described above is what has traditionally been known as "The American Dream" and it is how to thrive and retire financially stable. It's a lot of work but the pay off comes after 65 when you are able to coast into the sunset of your life.
