It seems more and more that the current society is set up to really require both you and your wife/girlfriend to be working in order to afford your own house. Even pre-RP I was against marriage any time soon, so in planning my life the options for living on my own are limited to renting. While in some cases cheaper, renting is not a permanent solution to sheltering oneself and I want to purchase my own home. The problem is there's no 1 or 2 bedroom homes anymore, everything is geared towards family living and structured around the idea of a man and woman with a combined income of at least 70-80k a year. How can a single guy purchase his own home these days?
