[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$500k.  15 year mortgage.  Wouldn't do it on any less unless you want to be house poor.  Million dollar homes aren't for $250k middle class earners.  No more than 2x HHI and 15 years.  If you can't afford that then you are looking at too much house and may need to check out Haymarket.

Are you trying to bait and trigger the snowflakes earning 100k around here?  $250k "middle class!!"  The horror.[/quote]
Not my direct intention, but the middle class and poors around here need a little tough love to understand that nobody is impressed with their meager salaries and they aren't entitled to live in an 8000 sqft mansion with 2 German cars just because they "make six figures".  Maybe they could do that on 250k in flyover country, but around here if you live like that on 250k you are going to be living paycheck to paycheck (or worse) so better get used to the taste of Friskies now because that's what you will be eating when the music stops and you end up unemployed/underemployed in your 50s and are forced into an earlier retirement.

Bahaha.  Well seeing as how that is true around here I agree.  In all seriousness though, COL here is no joke.  It's terrible to be working long hours for a job paying 200k and only being able to afford a shitshack that would cost 150k elsewhere.[/quote]
