[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all you $200k+ HHI thinking you shouldn't spend that much- it's probably that you're either extremely risk averse or that you find yourself constantly needing luxury things. Neither is a bad thing, but it just means that others who plan their money better or enjoy simple life style find they'd prefer the house versus the weekly dinner out at Rose's Luxury etc.

And we fit in that second category.  HHI or $170k. We don't go out to eat at all really- and when we do a treat for us Dog Fish Head where our bill is $40/$50.  Our main entertainment is sitting at home watching TV, or on our deck with a glass of wine reading/listening to music.  It's a simple life- but it's our life and we love it. [/quote]
I guess I'm not really sure how the price of one's home influences their ability to sit around and watch TV or drink a glass of wine on the deck.

I have a small, non-expensive home, that cost way less than what we technically could've been "approved" for. For me, it's the best of both words. We can putter around the house and live simply (the things you describe) AND we can travel, eat at nice restaurants, buy nice clothes, etc. (not luxury, BTW). Had we stretched the budget on the house, we'd not be able to the latter. [/quote]
