I'm one of those people with three children and 1.5 jobs as a parent and yes, you can build something up. You just shouldn't live lavishly and worship the god of consumption. It also very much depends on where you live. A lot depends on your housing costs. For me, it's about 15% of our total budget per month, and we're talking about loans here, so the place will soon be ours. We can put about 10% aside, even though my wife is a graduate of the Donald Duck School of Finance. It could be more, but lately I like to buy tools. On the other hand, it saves me a lot of money on renovation costs. DIY has saved us five figures since we bought it.
So no, I'm extremely happy living here and I'm honestly not too worried about it. As soon as my wife is finished and we get to 2.0 salaries, the next house purchase is on the cards. By then, the house we live in will not only be paid off, but also renovated enough to keep running costs low.

@devnerd_daddy That is the way. That's how we did it. Our building is in top energy shape. Currently 93% self-sufficient. 4-family house. 2WE rented (Sure, "strangers" in the house, but you have to get through it. And it helps if you look at your bank account at the end of the month) Although my shoulder has suffered due to "excessive DIY". Another property is out. That's why all the ancillary costs saved now go 1:1 + incl. part-time job salary + monthly savings installment all go into the deposit. Extrapolated another 9 years then we're through (now 47 years). Or just sell the house before then anyway. (tax-free in the 1st year. Renting out). There's no point in complaining. Tackle it yourself . Don't let yourself be put off . Don't listen to others. Do your own thing . Greetings
