You can. I know a 29 year old couple - a school teacher and physical therapist - bought their $240k house 5 years ago. Each lived with their parents until done with college while working and saving. Graduated, married, bought their home. If you're buying Starbucks, getting tattoos, vaping, eating out, ordering in, racking up credit card debt, new phone every year, etc, I have no sympathy.
