Sabrina Elarjoun, 24, is living with her parents in Sydney’s south-west while she is studying medicine. She is hoping to become a general practitioner or a gynaecologist, but even after years of study, there is no guarantee her wage will be high enough to buy property where her family and friends live.

“We’re expected to work hard, study hard, but there are things that people would have looked forward to 20 or 30 years ago, it’s not the same for us. Buying properties before, that would have been seen as just something that you do, whereas now you’re lucky if you can buy a property,” Elarjoun said.
