[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Classic DCUM humblebrag.[/quote] +1,000,000 We bought our house two years ago, and really stretched our budget to buy our $650K house. At the time we were only making about $165K base salary, plus $25K in bonuses. We have one child in part time day care, and no other debt except our condos, which are both rented out, and monthly credit card debt. Now two years later, we are making $205K base salary with about 28K in bonuses, so we are still tight but its more manageable. I think it was worth it, because we got into a top school district, and our house is worth at least $25K more than what we paid for it. We expect to continue making more every year, so it was worth it, even though I was a complete nervous wreck when we bought. [/quote] Oh the irony[/quote]
