A lot of it has to do with mindset, priorities, and work ethic. If you look around, you will see a lot more younger people drawing a check on some government program because they are too lazy to work. There seems to be a lot more young meth heads running around as well and they sure aren't buying a house. Also, most younger adults are more focused on having the latest and greatest cell phone, new car, or buying those $7.00 coffees every day. Most of the young people I know, my children included, that have a mind to work, determination, and their priorities in order, are buying homes and raising families. Now, I will say that those type of young people are definitely in the minority.
