[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way for you to know if they have family money.Not everyone shares handouts and inheritances.[/quote] Or they have Zero student loans. Wise investments. Better savings. No other debt. Drive less expensive cars. etc. I am a Fed, my husband IT. We were DINKs for 7 years and saved aggressively. When we bought our first home in a very desirable/wealthy neighborhood---we got a lot of eyebrow raises. People assumed a lot of inaccurate things. I got some very strange comments and passive aggressive remarks. When we bought a 2nd home in another very desirable/wealthy neighborhood, tongues were really wagging. We had zero outside help. In fact, we are the ones often financially helping other family members. You have no idea what their actual situation is like. They could be living paycheck to paycheck, had a ton of savings for a hefty downpayment, or even an inheritance you know nothing about.[/quote]
