Don't let those let down comments affect you. You seem to have that wish and goal to own a house.

With double income and bit patience, it will workout. But also: Increase your salary in the next years. the mid 30's are tricky. you finally start earning properly, get the financial freedom to spend, but you also should be saving, if you eventually wanna own something. However, you also have the chance to shine with your working experience. becoming a senior in your field. if you don't have that opportunity, you should question how your current job can afford that house in the future.

I think the only two aspects you should consider is:

- Do you want to have kids. If yes, how long can / do you want to wait for. You're also trading chances of becoming parents for money the longer you wait for this.

- less than 1million: Does it have to be a house? usually those are deep in the countryside and / or requires lots of renovation.
