[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did. You need high paying jobs and to live below your means to save up a down payment before you have kids.[/quote] OR . . . You needed to stretch yourself 10 years ago when you were in your 20s before kids, when housing prices were low and interest rates were sub 3%. It pays to know what you want when you’re young.[/quote] This is my suspicion on some level too. OP wanted to stay in lockstep with the lifestyle of her peers. She either rented a lifestyle that she truly couldn’t afford (maybe overly nice apartments, splurge vacations) and now the bill has sort of come due. Those peers either had better jobs or family money and she can no longer keep. So she’s bitter. That’s the only reason I can think OP believes she entitled to a $2-3M home in a premier neighborhood. Because most people get that that is sort of reserved for only the *most* affluent of families. [/quote]
