fuck it. if there's still a question as to whether someone who makes reasonable money can afford to buy a basic house where they want to, there's a problem. the problem is the market isn't right. it'll correct, but we're not there.
that's basically what i go by. i don't give a shit what joe douche at b&j realty says... i go by reality, and reality says he's wrong.
i have no car payment, i'm fairly frugal, i make good money, and i've always been a saver, but i couldn't afford anything more than a condo. even on our two incomes plus a roomie, a house would be a stretch. fuck that noise.
no, moving to some place i don't want to live is not an option. i value my lifestyle, which in no way should be a bank breaker. i'm not looking for much; an 1700sqft brick cookie cutter built in the 40s would make me happy enough.
