..whatever age you're financially secure enough to get one

and never get a mortgage with a partner, regardless of your age.
Only maybe if you're married.

havnt you ever played monopoly?
Yeah of course, but that was the one part of the game I found confusing.

Also, I'll just make myself look like an economics nerd! The game should be called "oligopoly" rather than "monopoly" since it is for 3-8 players who all own property and businesses at the beginning of the game, rather than at the end of the game when one owns it.

Thought I'd just impress whoever cares :p

Depends on your financial situation/ house prices
Like say you have some money saved up and all of a sudden houses drop in prices- why not buy then?
Ie. My bf is 18 and he just bought a house

Wow congrats to your bf. Depends though where it is, and how big it is, and how much land it has. Yes, house prices have dropped dramatically, there's an SMH article on it. And of course you need to have substantial savings.

uh i'm not impressed, it actually should be called monopoly as ultimately the goal of the game is to send the other players bankrupt, monopolies/duopolies usually stemming from multiple market players who are inevitably forced out of business by the one or two most successful/competitive ones.
