Anyone good with money would retire in like 10 years even with a mediocre job, let alone a good job.
Yes though, housing, even shit tier khurushchevkas would be an improvement.
If you really are struggling though, I'd really recommend looking into granny/mil units, they're usually half the rent of a studio apartment.
If anything, I'd say just restrict immigration more often. COVID was basically the best wage growth in most of the first world and less people means housing development can play catch-up.
