There is some truth in this - the high interest rates didn't last more than 6 years whereas high house prices are seemingly here to stay.

I couldn't make any inroad on my mortgage back then, but I could afford to buy a house initially. It's the reverse situation for many now.

Just jump in, any way you can. It will hurt like hell but don't still be a victim 20 years from now.
