[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nah. I am a millenial. A lot of my friends blow $400+ a month on eating out (8-10x of eating out). It's a huge budget buster. [/quote]

Okay, let's say that people can save $400/month not eating out. $400 x 12 months = $4,800. That's going to help someone buy a $500k-1m house... how, exactly? [/quote]

Why do they need to buy a $500k-$1m home?  Why not look for a cheaper place further out?[/quote]

Because that's all part of the "complaint" from millennials...  Let's say they move further out, and commute what, 90 mins - 2 hrs a day? And then what is [i]that [/i]life going to look like? You're gone from 6:30-7:30 (give or take) 4-5 days a week? And no one is gonna think that sucks either? [/quote]
The cost of commuting from farther out is real. If I lived on Capitol Hill, I could either walk or take the bus for $2 (or $4 round trip), but I live in Alexandria, and my commute costs me $7.50 if I take the Metro, or $23 + gas to drive and park (which is relatively rare). My DH also commutes, so double that. Even if we just take Metro, it’s a pretty big difference, and we don’t even live far out. [/quote]
