i could hustle that up on a weekend.
don't you spend your weekends mailing out flyers stating that you are in the neighborhood?

Yeah I don’t think anyone here can counsel you on how to save money in a town that is ridiculously expensive to live in and a starter house will be what, 750k or more?

They live in San Francisco. Unless they're expert computer programmers or successful start up executives, they will probably never afford to own a house.
They need to move to a new city.

May need to rent until you get your paper up, son.

Have a final interview in Fort Worth, TX in two weeks. Fingers crossed.
Other than that? Terrible.

That’s his rent payment, not income.

We make around 140k net a year(?) that may change cuz wife got a raise.

I'm not sure what the requirements are now but you may only need 5% down or less. In the past it was 100% and they offered first time home buyers money towards closing costs and down payment. Not sure if that program still exists though.

You would be living large in other parts of the country... San Francisco not so much.

First you need to track exactly where all the money is going. Get the Mint app and use it religiously. It should be easy to see where you can cut spending.

1 year, but to be fair I had some savings already and lived for free that first year (mostly traveled for work, so just kept my stuff at parents house). bought a cheap starter home so not to difficult to get my 20%

I graduated law school right before the big silicon valley salary bumps and when you could get a loan on a song. Zero down, interest-only jumbo loan after a year out. Insane. We all saw how those practices played out!

You have $9k per month after rent. If another $3k goes to utilities & car payments (generous), $1k for student loans, and $1k for eating out, you still have $4k. It’s time to start closely tracking to figure out where that money is going.
