Good thing she's your ex. Talk about giving someone an inferiority complexe!
It does not make you a loser. Everyone has a different life - if you were studying to become a doctor, would you be able to purchase a home by 22? If the money comes from mommy & daddy, sure I see it as possible but not if you have to study and work part-time.
Owning a house at 22 is great if you have other money making buildings.
I'd rather pay rent and make money from my other investments, people thinking owning a house is most important are dumb and will get owned by society.
And i won't own a house for a while, i'll live in one of my investments which will pay for itself.
I hope she's enjoying living at the brink of bankrupcy like the good little consumer she's supposed to be.
Society is such that you're supposed to: "find a girlfriend, a steady job, then marry, then buy a house, then have kids"
I have a lot of friends falling into that pattern way too quickly, and the bastards act all jealous because I make money and they criticize my way of life (simple, no debts, investing, same girlfriend but our carreers are important).
Owning a house is a lot of responsibility. I think most 22 year olds should be out partying and going to college/university or just starting out a new job/self employment.
Everyone is different but if you're not ready for the level of committment house ownership comes with ,definetely don't feel pushed into getting a house just because someone else says to do it.
I was thinking about buying a house but relized that its pointless to buy one if you don't need one. I don't plan to have kids or get married anytime soon so a house would just be a waste of money. If your gf thinks your a loser for not having a house at 22 i'd dump the gold digging bitch.

BTW Paraskass she sounds like the typical Quebecer who will appear rich yet be poor all her life.
Typical poor people thinking, i guess her new boyfriend got out of that Professional diploma to be a mechanic and got his first job, jumped on a nice fat low interest mortgage and voila, he'll look cool.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
Whoever puts an age number to it and says you're loser if you don't measure up is an idiot! Let me qualify me statement by saying that I own my home and I am older than 25! However I know a lot of great people from 19 years old well into their 50's who don't own a home. Does that make them losers? Fuck no!! If it's something you want then you will eventually get it - not everyone has the means to achieve their dreams. That chicks sounds like a real bitch to me!
I'm 22 and been looking at buying a place. Prolly won't for a while though since there isn't that many decent nice sized ones in this town.. Might wait a few years until my gf is done with college and move up to the Black Hills and buy a place up there.

Fools they are.
Owning property AND having other investments (did I mention MTSX, GG and CRM yet?) is a smart combination.

is she right?
No, I can think of several reasons why someone wouldn't own a house by the age of 22, yet still be considered extremely successful by like 99% of the average persons standards.
No, it definitely does not make you a loser. She is just being a bitch. IMHO the ages she quotes is kinda young. I am now 33 and just bought a home, gotta wait for it to finishing getting built though, and it's my first. I wanted to make sure I was ready before I took on the responsibility.
Now on the other hand, if your 22 and still living with your parents, then THAT qualifies you as a loser.
Just tell her to go fuck herself.
