Date: May 16th, 2018 7:52 PM Author: aquamarine gaped fortuitous meteor nursing home Lol, this essentially proves Earl's point. Saving $7,000 per month in that scenario is only possible if their are no substantial student loans. Even if both people had full scholies (rare), they likely had significant parental help to pay for living costs, etc.
Then the dad "just threw in $50,000" like it was no big deal. In other words, both you and your wife easily had financial help to the tune of 150-200k, even if it was not all in the form of a down payment.
Contrast your situation with a couple that at least has six figures of student debt (very common) and has no financial help from their parents for any of the down payment. Then it's not nearly as easy to come up with $200k as you make it sound. |
|
Date: May 17th, 2018 12:23 AM Author: Translucent frozen garrison LOL you don’t know us
The point was we could’ve saved $170k in two years, easily, with just our own income. And at $7k per month we live very comfortably in LA. |
|
Date: May 17th, 2018 12:57 AM Author: aquamarine gaped fortuitous meteor nursing home Your numbers don't add up, but I don't really give a shit. Earl's point was a 200k down-payment is not easy for most people without parental help. Your grand rebuttal is declaring that it is in fact "easy," while admitting that you and your wife got significant financial help. Got it.

7x12 = 84
$84 saved per year x 2 = 168.
this doesn’t even include bonuses.
I’m saying it’s easy to do it in 2 years with our incomes. And without including parental help, which allowed us to buy after one year of saving instead of 2. You seem mad, everything ok? |

It's a lot easier to say you COULD save than to do it. Shit always comes up, especially when you are young and there are non-stop weddings to travel to, furniture to buy, etc. |

Date: May 17th, 2018 10:49 AM Author: curious hateful mad-dog skullcap stage earl's right, mortgage isn't hard since they stretch it 30 years.
the hardest part is the down payment. most kids CAN THEORETICALLY save that much when they make $300k+, but reality isn't the same as theory.
people i know making $300k+ tend to spend more when they get around $100k in savings and start being loose with their money. those with real social lives and massive friend networks will realize the pressures of having fun or living life. one month it's a giant bday party, another month you have 2 weddings. then there's a big vacation. group vegas trip where you lost $1k and it's no big deal. getting drunk and getting bottle service the next month. It adds up.
but yes if you can theoretically work and live like a robot where you tell your friends to fuck off and beeline home when you hit a certain $300 weekend budget, then the math works. but 90% of people don't live that way. |
