[quote=Anonymous]We bought in our mid-30s, about 8 years ago, with a HHI of about 160K. Our budget cap was 500K; we came in under that. Put 15% -- half of it (30K) came from savings and half came from help from family (mostly from an inheritance). We saved like we were paying for childcare. We put aside a couple of thousand a month for 2.5 years. Could not have done that without the family help, though. And no way were we laying out 1M for housing. We are a dual non-profit household; a PhD SME and an attorney.[/quote]
