Yee we're all getting fucked but what can we do rent ain't getting cheaper. Best case is holdout for the next housing market crash or better interest rates.

I'll buy a home in the next couple years regardless, it just sucks it took this long. I was making good money from age 28-35, then laid off and making less but I worked my way up again at 37 but that speedbump derailed any long term plans I had.
