No, but interesting, have a lot of friends from college and high school who did what you did. They bought a house or condo in my LCOL city right after graduating. This was actually mostly due to cost of living. They saved by buying a house vs renting a house. However, I don't think the same idea would apply in a HCOL city. This was smart for them. I don't think it would be smart for everyone though.
