[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]where do you live? how did you pay off your house in early 30s?[/quote]

Without entering into too many details, we're in Delaware. We paid off the house in our mid 20s within 4 years of purchase by making sure it didn't cost more than 2x our income; at the time, we made 50k, so we bought a 100k house on a 15-year mortgage. Made extra payments from the start, salaries went up, killed it off.[/quote]

Well prepare to get your sheet jumped.  Some people here will rip you because you don't live here [/quote]

Yup, that's pretty standard in these threads. It's always interesting, though, because the COLA calculators are pretty consistent in each thread. Our lifestyle would cost ~150k in DC. That's still well under the 300k people declare to be barely middle class. Yet lots of posters come back with the cognitive distortion of claiming that a.) it would cost far, far, far more to live like that in DC while simultaneously claiming b.) we're living like paupers. Which is it? Would it take hundreds of thousands more to live this well in DC, or are we really suffering compared to those in DC?  :lol: [/quote]
