But I also believe that the priorities have shifted drastically: vacation, career, personal freedom, finding yourself, or other stories... In the past, it was completely normal to build a house before the age of 25.
Yes, that is the generation that envies us for our opportunities and free space.
As I said @ypg, we both have permanent contracts in a very good employment relationship. I think we are well set up budget-wise. Of course, we planned all this beforehand. If that wasn’t the case, building the house wouldn’t work either. Moreover, I think we will have more time and money in old age, since we will finish paying off early.
I never claimed otherwise. I think you also mentioned that the plot of land is already owned?!
I fundamentally doubt skipping stages in the CV and the rose-colored glasses you still wear in your early 20s. And the thought:
but I am sure that I want to stay with this person. And for life. Actually things you think about before a relationship, right? I can't understand this point at all!
...is already wording that shows a lot of pink and naivety. Life often turns out differently than you think. And thinking becomes somewhat slower as you age, as well as calmer and more relaxed. You simply can’t experiment anymore, travel, take half a year off, do something crazy when you are already tied to a house so early. That is what’s missing. I believe this gap is mentally unhealthy and later makes you dissatisfied for not having done certain things.
