Can confirm, that I'm someone currently on the boomer route and it's literally impossible. I could afford a house 5 years ago on my current salary, but the rates and prices are rising so fast that even with pay rate increases that would make boomers blush I'm still broke after rent.
My partner and I finally landed jobs that paid well enough to start looking into buying about six months into the wild housing price spike. Now I'm just praying for the line to go down because there's fuck all I can do.

Same basically. Went from $15/hr to $30 but my rent more than doubled to over $2k
