I bought in 2005-ish. Even though I had a decent job, I wouldn’t have been offered a mortgage big enough to afford anything describable as a house on my own.
I can’t imagine much has changed since then, and it wasn’t a new thing. Women weren’t seen as stay at home housewives in 2000.
Try being a couple then. Your parents couldn’t afford a house on their own either.
Single-income households aren’t some long relic of the ages. Plenty of people have living parents that prospered during that time.

Ok? Congrats to you. Turns out you’re not who’s being talked about right now, as shocking as that may seem.
We’re not talking about the 20 years ago ya dingus
Sorry, I didn’t realise 20 years wasn’t long enough ago to spunk out a whiny gen Z-er.
They’re talking about the 90s and prior, and really are talking about the 70s and prior
Exactly. My parents bought on a single income.
Why do you assume you’re talking to 20 year olds
Are 20 year old not “people in their 20s”?
They most certainly did lol.
Huh? Very common in my parent’s band to have been single income.
