Do you think the above still applies today?

Many say it no longer applies because the Rambam was referring to a time where: 1) A profitable craft took a very short to learn. 2) A “house” was a lot smaller and easier to attain than it is today. Therefore, to adhere to this ideal is no longer feasible (i.e one should marry and have children before he has acquired a home and a parnasa).
