[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ sorry, meant which part is NOT relevant to someone born in 1990?[/quote]

You're totally glossing over price levels and wages, especially for lowly ranked schools.[/quote]

Nope.  Stop the whining. We worked our butts off, started at the bottom career wise,  and house wise, lived in crappy apartments and an awful fixer upper arhat we never really fixed up and played the long game. I'm 39,  not a dinosaur.

Uh, to someone born in '90, yes, a dinosaur. The circumstances of the world sure as hell change in over a decade.[/quote]

No one has answered which part of the response is not relevant. There are $180 homes in Mannassas people! Yes it's an hour commute, but we did it for years. Held off having kids. Paid down student loans. We made less than $100k combined, from our state university school jobs and had $124k worth of joint grad school debt. My starting salary was $43k, his was $62k. 
So yes, stop the whining.[/quote]

Uh, I have a friend who commutes from Manassas, that is no one hour commute -- rush hour is minimum 1.75 hours, and even dead of night is over 1 hour.

On top of that, the house they bought in 2009 has DROPPED in value... they lost the appreciation lottery.  Same thing can easily happen in SE, despite the boosters on here who love it.  I work there, and it has a long way to go...[/quote]

There's no way your friends house dropped in value.  I sold my house in Manassas City with the city schools everyone derides for 100k more than I bought it for in 2009.[/quote]
