[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 29 and DH is 32. Combined HHI of $165k. We are moving from Atlanta to my midwestern hometown so we can buy a home and have kids. That’s the only way to make it feasible, and we don’t have student loans or other significant debt. [/quote] LOL, are you for real? My DH and I have a lower HHI and yet we own a home in DC and have a kid and are planning to have another. I also have significant student loan debt. How you can't "afford" to buy a home and have kids in Atlanta with $165K/year is just incomprehensible to me.[/quote] They probably mean they can't buy in a tiny few square miles area of Atlanta known for shops, eateries, schools, and a semi-walkable community. Houses there go for 600K and up. They can still buy in the best walkable/downtown areas of most Midwestern cities for 300K and up which means they still get to lord life over their relatives and say they can walk to Starbucks.[/quote]
