[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 300-400K, if you don't overspend on a house and have kids in public, you will live like a king. [/quote] The housing is the hard part. We only recently got this HHI level, and didn’t get on the property ladder before prices and interest rates went through the roof. We have great savings, and are definitely UMC based on the fact that we can save so much and can pay for daycare and unexpected expenses. But we can’t afford a starter home at today’s rates. I would feel pretty rich if we had bought a home in 2019. Instead, I feel like we will be stuck as long-term renters. It’s just wild how divergent the lifestyle is, depending on which recent year you bought a house. [/quote]
