True, first home buyers should not be expecting to buy the average NZ house they do have to start on the bottom rung provided it hasn't already been taken away. Sadly my first home was a lot less than average.

And as Artemis has pointed out you could forgo having a family to buy a house. Not having kids is a great financial decision. Probably good for climate change as well but misses the point of life IMHO.
