    When I was 25 I had all that stuff, too. That was 15 years ago, and some thing have changed in this country, but a lot of Americans your age do not have the disposable income you have. Things were better then, and you didn't have to get a college degree to do it. In many ways, the economy is not creating the same opportunities to financially advance, to get a bachelors degree a the average state university costs 35,000 dollars or more, and the competition for a job when your done is fierce. Anymore, this country is turning into a feudal society. If your parents are not well to do, chances are you will not be. It really is all in who you know, than what you know. Take our president G.Bush, he wouldn't have gotten the nomination if it weren't for his birth rite. I hate to see this occurring, All the smart money has been stolen. New ideas are stolen from the poor and marketed by the wealthy (rap music), all that is left is freedom, but it is getting taken away bit by bit. You are probably better off in Australia, we have leaders that would rather spend 30,000 dollars a year per prison inmate and 10,000 dollars year on child in school. We need to switch that around. BUT NO! keep the populous dumb and subservient that way the NEW WORLD ORDER agenda will advance.

    It is not impossible to own your own home in America at 25 in fact depending on where you live it is probably likely. The only places that it would be hard to accomplish is in larger cities such as New York or Los Angeles but even there if you move out a little ways just about anyone can get their own home.

    In the US the biggest obstacle that most people face is discipline, most people that struggle do so because they charge their life's away and bury themselves in debt by eating out all of the time and buying things that they do not need but these are choices and they are things here that will slow down the "American Dream"

    Where in Australia do you live?
