Its not that hard to afford. It wasn't on the extreme end of any mortgage approval calculators, that is for sure. Lets say the monthly payment is $5,000 for everything. Well, if your income is $200K, then your take home should be around $11K or so monthly, right? You cannot live and save off of $6,000 month after housing costs are deducted? If not, why not?
