[quote=Anonymous]We put $200k down. Here are some choices we made- Lived in a low cost of living Midwest city in my 20s - with roomates and an inexpensive car. Husband lived with his parents for several after his PhD and before we got married. I put 10% of my pretax income in an employee stock. purchase plan and my company has done very well. I believe $80k was stock I sold. I put a bunch of money into index funds in 2008-2010 and rode the store market up after the recession. I travelled extensively for work in my 20s and early 30s - we're still using the miles and points to pay for vacations years later. We shared 1 12yr old car until we had our 2nd child. So in short - saving early, being frugal, being lucky. [/quote]
