There are pros and cons for either demographic: whilst being older may be ideal since not only you bypass age restrictions, you also have the capability on purchasing it with your own money without having to ask parents for that given that you have employment and recurring income. Gaming as a kid gives more time without having to dwell much on responsibilities that adults have to worry about but at the same time are held by school.

    That’s insane how expensive it is. What would it cost to buy a flat? Maybe build one with others, like build together? That exists here in Germany, it’s called Baugenossenschaft

      A great concept but unfortunately not a thing here. Things used to be very affordable. The last decade has been a painful one over here. It’s unfortunate.

        Find others with the same problem and be the first baugenossenschaft maybe? If you have a lot to gain, maybe it’s worth it. I believe that in every crisis, there is a chance as well if you’re willing and able to adapt. Not saying crises are good, lol

          Perhaps others will. I’ve already chosen my path. We both work full time in well paying jobs and already own our overpriced house. The kids are well into their school years.
