[quote=Anonymous]My parents didn't give me any money for a house. They also didn't pay for my college. I live in the DC area. I am mid-30s, and I make considerably less than you (I'm more in the range of your friends). I pay mortgage insurance because I didn't have enough for a down payment. I also bought a house in PG and commute. There are trade-offs. I never expected my parents to pay for a down payment. They couldn't have even if they wanted to. So I made it work. I found what I could afford and worked with that. You need to grow up. There will always be people who have more than you do, and it isn't even necessarily that they earned it or deserve. Life isn't fair. It sounds like you make a good salary. You can afford to buy something, but it probably will require compromise. Welcome to life. I'm kind of shocked you're only now realizing this at 31.[/quote]
