[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp, how much does your systems engineer make with you as a sahm with 3 kids? [/quote] Their secret is married 20 years; they bought in the 90s, easy on one income. [/quote] This. I am a different STEM husband, but with an emphasis on the Science. My wife and I bought our house in 1999. We bought a smallish house in a good neighborhood. With that, we locked in monthly payment (loan only) that is about 1K/mo (was 1400, but we refinanced). This is for a 4 br house in a good neighborhood. Today, I might be able to afford the house, as my salary is 3x the 1999 salary, but it would be close. The reason we bought the house (wife wanted to keep renting) was because I figured buying the house was a hedge against inflation: we were locking in the monthly payment at a number we could afford. Rents go up, but the mortgage is fixed (i.e., cash flow will improve with time). [/quote]
