I’m thinking… anyone with normal university education(STEM-only), leaves university at 22, has job at 23 (mid case scenario) so is 25 unrealistic for American Dream or no?

Edit: ok lawyer too, (but only humanities degrees which matter to society) not the BS art ones.

Yeah but debt is a thing and internships, while they do cover a lot, aren't going to make it debt free. Assuming you are a pretty silent person and not someone that spends a lot on themselves, then 25 is a realistic scenario.

For a 25 year old in america too afford that house they would need to be born super wealthy, or kill multiple people and sell their organs.

That house is too exaggerated but, let’s say u have 3 bedroom house, is it reasonable?

lmfao no, for our grandfathers yes, but that was a very differant time. I live in a 3 bedroom house, my parents, with extensive help from my grandparents, bought it in 2000, they are still paying an expensive mortgage will continue too until well after they retire. If i wanted to buy the house i live in rn it would cost me around $400k usd And i dont live in a particularly wealthy neighborhood. Most 25 yr olds fresh out of college are scraping by in a shitty apartment, if they have a partner or went too a good college they might live in a nice apartment. Owning a house in the current generation simply isnt realistic

Damn texas is wild, a house like that in my state would be a mil minimum, and 7 years of work sure as hell aint covering that unless your working for big law

yeah bro its crazy, real estate and land is crazy cheap in texas, mansions like that for 500k and u cab easily get a shit ton of acres with it. and trade work everywhere in america is good if u know how get in the good programs and [art of a union and stuff, can easily be making 26+ an hour at 19-20

Speaking as an American this was somewhat realistic 4-5 years ago for a middle class American, but with inflation now hell nah lmao.

i live in florida (South US) and this is partially true, it’s our version of the country stereotype, so it’s certainly not everyone but just some people in the South

Not for an average-earning, no intergenerational wealth, non-STEM/Lawyer/any health/doctor majors

For a person with intergenerational wealth (aka ur parents / grandparents are hella rich) then yeah this is easy

Also depends where you live. I live in Northern California (aka housing hell) so even a high-paying job won't get you a 3 bedroom house in 3-5 years.

You can kinda get it in the south, you only have to put up with living a 15 min drive away from a third world country.
