If I'm never planning on getting married and having 2 incomes, will I ever be able to afford a house? In my area a halfway decent house costs 550-600k, townhouses are like 500ish and condos are ~300k but I don't really want to invest in a townhouse, and definitely not a condo. Seems like I would have to make in the high 100k range just to afford a starter home that has a yard. People in my field and location don't make high 100's unless they're really senior and/or high performing (I'm an engineer).
Is it simply impossible as a single person to compete against all the dual income married couples in the housing market unless you're making mega bucks?
