Is buying your first property as early as possible still good advice? Or can rushing into a property purchase in your 20s actually limit your career and lifestyle choices later?

Generally good advice.

By design, salaries can never keep pace with rising asset prices. If you can afford a property now, buying early prevents you from getting priced out. We should always focus on asset acquisition as the wealth engine, while keeping a career as the safety net.

For the average 9-to-5 salaried worker, owning a home won't limit your career—securing your first property actually opens up far more lifestyle choices, allowing you to transition to an asset-based income much sooner.
