[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again....if I met two neighbors who were 30 and just bought a 1.5M home and they told me they were attorneys at Venable, I might buy that.  But a stay at home mom and a guy that is a consultant at a Deloitte/PWC/fed employee etc....nope.[/quote]

It's possible if they saved religiously for a few years before the wife became a sahm.

My husband is private sector and I'm a gov employee.  We make around 380k now and made around 320k when we saved for a house.  It took us a little over a year to save around 125k for our downpayment.  We had some other money in savings we used.  We could have easily saved another 125-150k if we had continued to save for another year and purchased a more expensive home.  It's definitely doable, especially without student loans or a wedding to pay for.

125k down doesn't get you a 1.5MM home.  Thats where this whole argument started,[b] follow along.[/b]  That and being a 29 year old.  I'm not saying it isn't possible to be legit but with the local masses I have met, most are helped and it's obvious.  No jealousy, just find it pathetic.[/quote]

You're the one who didn't follow along.  350K plus is enough for a downpayment on a 1.5 mm house! [/quote]
