[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you or your husband have student loans? That makes all the difference in the world, IMO. Needless to say, we do, make almost $300K combined with equivalent loans, and struggle (not put-food-on-the-table struggle obviously, but my commute is 1.5 hrs for a very long-hours job because we can't afford to live closer, I don't buy clothes/shoes basically ever, shop consignment for my 20 mo, etc).[/quote] Is this real? What kind of debt are we talking about? [/quote] Pp says "with equivalent loans" so I'd guess around $259-300k. I'm not that pp, but my DH had $200k in grad debt. If we'd both had that kind of debt load, we'd have been in the same position as pp. We got lucky with an opportunity that let us pay down the debt and sock away a big downpayment. If that hadn't happened, our circumstances would be dramatically different and I wouldn't be a SAHM.[/quote]
