[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1/3 of take home towards mortgage is insane. 1/4-1/5 is more standard. [/quote] Where do you people live that this is even realistic? Or do you all have HHI over $200k and live very modestly in this area?[/quote] We paid 1600/month for a 2 bedroom condo in Alexandria and had a HHI of 150k. We felt like there was enough space. We were paying 1300/month for infant care in Arlington. If we had wanted the same amount of space in DC, would have been at least 2200 and childcare would have also been around 2k/month. [/quote]
