[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dual Feds here and we lived on one income before having kids. We completely saved the other. We saved 50-100k a year. 3-4 years of that and you have your 200k downpayment on the 1m house. [/quote]
We did not have the luxury of this as we met when my spouse was in grad school. We also didn’t meet until 30. Not everyone has been able to build a life for years and years before children. Many are paying off college debt, have health issues, support family, or simply aren’t making much. Your solution was a no-brainer and I’m happy for you that you were able to do it, but most people don’t follow this formulaic path of building a life.[/quote]

If you are in grad school it sounds like you are in a field where experience and education is valued, so less agism when you hit 55 (relatively of course compared to tech sales or ballerina). [/quote]
I mean, yeah. It’s looking more and more like we’ll buy our first home when our oldest leaves for college. But then, that assumes they won’t pick a school that requires more than is in their 529.[/quote]
