Are you joking? In this example rent is only a small fraction of income.

  As another commenter pointed out, a 3.5% down FHA loan would make it feasible to buy a house with those numbers. But in any case, $80k is up there in terms of typical trades salaries, at least if cursory Googling can be trusted. Your median tradesman makes far less.

    Where I live (Mpls), tradespeople make six figure salaries and are well above the median HHI for the area. I lead a team that includes Zoomers and they are making six-figure salaries and are way ahead of where I was (accounting for inflation) when I was at their age. This is more generational comparison garbage like the claims that Millennials were the downfall of our civilization. Just ignore it and move on.
