[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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, follow along.  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]

What's pathetic?[/quote]

That because the PP can't buy a 1.5 mm house he thinks no one else can afford it either without family help or winning the lottery.  [/quote]

I do have one but that's not the point, I'm not nor was I 29 when she bought it.  I'm in my 30's now and that's all I will say on that matter.[/quote]
