With things getting more expensive as time goes on, I am not sure if I will ever be able to afford a house..

Depending on where your at. Or want to be. Most housing markets in the big cities are way over blown. Buy a chunk of land. Develop it yourself. Build your own house or even a log cabin. Throw a fabricated house on it to live in while you build. And after your house is done rent out the other one.

Inflation and interest rates are making things more difficult and may have pushed people out of home purchases because they won't be able to afford the monthly. The positive, is it can shift things into more of a buyer's market. Depending on your price range it means you wouldn't be competing with 20 other people for a home. If you can do that, and make it through this, interest rates should come down eventually and refinancing is usually painless.

Yes head down keep working hard as I hope you do and it will come might be a fixer-upper, but that’s OK can always sell that and move on. Don’t give up.😊

Start small

Tiny house? At least it would be your own pad

None of us will, and that is "their" evil plan.

I wish you the best.

House prices have more than doubled here in the past 2 years.
