Bullshit you can’t. The GF and I make a mere $42/hr combined before tax and we are homeowners.
How are you fucking up so badly, that you can’t save up enough for a down payment on a $300-400k home at $90/hr? I make less than a quarter of what you make. Where is all that money going?
I corrected my salary. I am a consultant and I get around $89/h, but I take out about $26/h as my actual salary and save the rest for when and if I’m out of work for a time. So there you have it.
I also live in the city where houses are like 500-800k. 👍
I have been living in Philly for a decade now, and in that time, I am not sure I have seen a single new house go up for less than $500k. Everything in the $50k-$300k range has been either an ugly condo or old track housing from the post-WW2 period.
That’s pretty crazy. I have almost $90 an hour and I can’t afford to buy a house either right now.
Edit: although I only extract half as my actual salary so that might be why.

Jesus Christ. I guess you know everything about their finances to just throw that shut at them huh.

The answer to your statement likely requires knowing where OP lives. There are many locations in the US where 400k houses do not exist.
It’s possible that they live somewhere very expensive where 300-400k homes don’t exist

Yeah man it’s rough in the city. I also really don’t want to live far away, so… 🥲
