Yeah, my wife and I didn't inherit any money or get any kind of gift for a down payment but we wouldn't be homeowners unless our parents paid tens of thousands into each of our college educations.

My husband and I wouldn't be homeowners if we didn't live with my parents for over a decade saving up. Though I understand not everyone has that available to them.

If we'd had to rent an apartment it would've never happened. We also don't have kids, so that's a contributing factor too.

Even with all that, we could only afford a small, one story fixer upper that was an estate sale in the middle of nowhere. It's a house though, and we were very lucky to get it.
