I've been at my current job for over a year now and it's got solid pay ~$60k/yr. I've still been bumming it at my parents with the goal moving out by buying my own place - likely with a friend who'd pay me rent.
However, with the housing market as it is with 8% interest rates and low supply it seems I'm stuck kicking back with my parents again.
At the same time, I feel like I'm stunting my development as I'd held off any serious relationships until I have my own place.
Renting doesn't seem ideal unless my parents kick me out (unlikely, we all get along and I pull my weight) as I just see it as lighting money on fire I could be saving for an actual house.
ATM I'm thinking of bitting the bullet for inflated interest rates as I'm in a good place financially (I have zero debt) but it does make me concerned that the “you will own nothing” seems less and less like a conspiracy theory for the Zoomer generation.
Is this r-slurred? What is the best move here?

In Ireland you need proven residency in counties in order to buy property here. The county I was looking at wanted 10 YEARS of residency within 10km of the plot to apply for planning permission and purchase of land.
I literally can't move to the countryside without paying rent for years just to apply.
