[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a row house in the city we bought in 2004 for $610k and never sold. We bought a $1.075 mill house in 2009. No inheritance, never sold a home. Two very frugal people married for 7 years prior to procreating and buying first home at 34. We had HHI about $220k and since has hovered around $350-400k. Tenant pays mortgage on first home. We are not lawyers or doctors. I am a scientist for FEds. DH is an independent IT consultant. Down payments on both homes were from our own cash savings. We met at 25/26 and had pooled income for many years. I think this is different from friends that met in 30s and popped out first kid right away.[/quote] We drive Hondas we paid cash for--if that helps too. I am into houses and walkability. I don't give a shit what I drive since I rarely do.[/quote]
