Probably a little of both! I was 24 years old, no kids and actually not even married yet. My future wife and I bought the house together before we were married.
But, we both worked at medium-paying jobs (not high income by any stretch of the imagination), and it didn't take but about a week and there was some money in the bank again for food, gas and other necessary expenses
By the way, the house we bought was - literally - uninhabitable. Many of the interior ceilings had fallen in due to serious leaks in the roof. The heating system was completely non-functional. The walls were covered with that 1970s thin paneling, and had buckled in places because it was put up wrong. There was candy-striped carpet in the living room. THIS PLACE WAS BAD!! Many people really did think we were crazy. But it was 1800 sq ft, had 2 acres of land and was well off the road, and the PRICE was RIGHT!
Kids change the landscape for sure, but double income no kids (AKA, DINK) is a good time to do stuff like that.
