As someone in their early 40s who just bought a house, I can attest that having a well-paying job helps greatly and that watering down the shampoo leavings does not.

Also mid 40s and just bought my first house. 100% was the new job with significantly higher pay. None of my past efforts at frugality paid any dividends either.

My partner is in her 30s, works 4 days as a school teacher, and just bought her first house in London. It's possible!

(I don't need to add that I'm in tech and have a very convenient salary, since that's not at all related, right?)

Not as long as they purchased their house independently of you, no.
