Simple: housing affordability is racing out of reach at an accelerating rate. There is no future where the savings lift them into the landowning class, so they decide to not be as miserable as they could be if they futilely saved for something that would never happen.

My partner and I live in a big city and both make north of $80K, but there's no reality in which we can purchase a house when offers are coming in 10% above asking/waiving all inspections/all cash/etc. So we are choosing to put that house fund towards having an actual wedding (instead of a courthouse one like we originally planned), traveling, and putting a small amount back for emergencies.
