Idk, I think the "broke till 28" probably depends on place a lot. I went to college in Michigan and worked there for a few years before I moved, and the job market was appalling at the time -- unless you were in medicine or tech, everything was like $9 an hour with no benefits. The few people I know who were able to buy a house before 28 were tech bros with rich families.

For me I was basically broke till 30, when I finally got a promotion to a newly created role at my current job that came with a $20K raise. I still can't afford a house because they start at half a million for a tiny studio in my city 😭
