[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average home price-to-income ratio is 5.4 nationally and 7.6 in the DC metro. This is how Americans live, some people on this board are super conservative. Which is fine, but they should realize that.[/quote] I don't know where you're getting those numbers but if they're real they make me feel a bit better. We're a little below the 7.6 ratio in Arlington. We saved a lot when we had two incomes so had a big DP which is why we're able to pay the mortgage on one income. I agree people on this board are super conservative. For me the light bulb moment was realizing that we were either going to save money or pay a mortgage. We were just never going to start spending a lot more. Its the way DH and I are wired. [/quote]
