That includes insurance and taxes. So let me get this straight.
You want to make 170k. Be able to buy a 3000 sq ft house, in great school districts, close to a major metro area, be able to max out retirement, and not be house poor. What the frick are you smoking? Because I want some of that.

I never said it was. Again, it seems like you are providing rebuttals to things that I’m not saying.

Who said this?
But I would contend that empirically high earners should be able to do better than an empirically median life.

Sounds like a sweet deal. You should sign up and do 20 yrs.

Again you are making shite up.

Take any "relatively" nuanced positions on this board about this topic and it gets overly generalized

170 is the median salary for two college grads ten years into their career. Median means the middle. Of course there are people that do better. And worse. Your little socialist everything should be equal and fair mind can’t see past that fact.

Lane Kiffin has lost control of BR home prices.

Why are we talking about first time homebuyers buying coastal property with flood/wind insurance?

You dont have to live in a beach house to still have a discussion about flood/wind insurance, particularly in south Louisiana

I’m not insulting you for doing it, but you acted as though the other poster was lying when he said you live off of taxpayers. You unequivocally do if you’re living off of a military retirement pension.
