[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no way I'd move. Only paying $1,100 a month is amazing. What's your age and how much retirement savings do you have? How much money will you have left after you would put down $500,000?

Things like camps and before/after care, if you need it, are expensive.  Clothing, tutoring if needed, sports, various fees, all add up.

DH and I make around 280k and have saved a couple million now in our late 40s -- we always kept our housing expenses low and thst was a key to our wealth accumulation.  I love never having to worry about money and being able to buy whatever small luxury we need.

I find our house to be a headache and would never own by myself-- i hate having to shell out thousands on the random things that break. We've had to pay 20 grand in the last 2 years on fixing things on our house that was built in the 70s. DH has to do basic maintenance and if I was in my own I'd need to hire someone for that in addition to lawn care.[/quote]

There is no reason a woman can’t do lawn care or basic maintenance in her 40s. You’re reinforcing sexist tropes with this attitude. With YouTube tutorials anyone can do basic maintenance and unless you’re disabled you can take care of lawn care too.[/quote]

For the entire year, my lawn maintenance took about 36 hours on a 1/4 acre lot that is about 1/2 grass. And I have a nice lawn. People act as if this is some sort of incredible hardship, to mow, edge, and fertilize a lawn.[/quote]
