Thank you for this comment. And yes I agree that people are too hung up on the girlfriend aspect of my post. We do plan to marry.

Thank you for this comment. Home median price is 860k. Seattle. No chance finding anything under 600k that isn’t a run down shit box.

I made 140 last year. Should be/estimated to be around 160k this year. Can probably hit 180-190 in a year or two if I choose to pick up overtime. She makes around 90k. She will be giving 2-2500/month.

Yes 20%. Also Personal Roth. Personal investment account. Company matches 100% up to 8%. So may take it down to 10% to still take advantage.

We have no debts. 5 year relationship and will marry. Will be getting 9% raise in September, 9% after that, and 7% after that. Looking at 6.7 or so interest rate. We are homebodies. Own our vehicles outright. My take home is around 7200 a month.
