[quote=Anonymous][quote]This has to be a joke or you're completely disconnected from reality.

I net about half of what the OP makes and pay 2K for my PITI.  It's not hard at all.  I am still able to save money every month.

The OP could easily do $3500.  If you have a hard time living off 5k after housing and retirement then you're doing it wrong. [/quote]

I think that you're missing this poster's point. She is telling the OP that [expensive] things come up during the course of a child's life and if you are tied to an expensive mortgage you may not have funds available to pay for them. She is also pointing out that their income may not be stable for the next 30 years and there may be some periods of unemployment.  She is merely making a suggestion based on her life experience and frankly I don't disagree agree with her.[/quote]
I'm not missing the point.  It's just straight up absurd.  I get being frugal.  But, claiming that you can only spend 2k on housing when she makes 13.5k is nuts.  What does she do with the other 11.5k?
