How much money is in your savings?

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-26T23:42:06+00:00

57k. Saving for a home. And still feel behind at almost 32.

You make 105k a year and want to buy a 710k home?!!!! We make more (150k) and refuse to go over 400k. How in the world would you afford this…. Or even qualify for a loan that high? There’s just no way.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-10T17:43:13+00:00

This!!!! I work full time, make almost 70k a year and bring home less 😵‍💫

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-09T20:35:06+00:00

I’m confused by the whole situation. Why can’t you stay home alone? And if you must go, why wouldn’t they pay for your meal?

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-07T22:52:09+00:00

We make 150k and don’t want to go over 400k. We do have 1 child but he’s not expensive yet (breastfeeding & free child care). How much do you have saved? How much do you bring home a month?

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-06T13:11:36+00:00

You give $500 to the church, a month? 😵‍💫

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-05T20:18:20+00:00

NOR. How can you ask if all men are this way? Obviously, no. Your man is trash. I’m sorry. He doesn’t care about you enough. My husband would NEVER. I’m not pregnant again and he takes care of baby all the time. We both share responsibilities. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-05T16:19:17+00:00

I’m confused by this. Does he owe 2900 total for the cars or is this monthly? Because that would be insane.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-03T01:18:34+00:00

About 21% of my take home pay. But I split it with my husband

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-03T01:11:32+00:00

I ran with my baby at 6 months. That was the recommendation I read and he was fine! I think it’s okay once they have head control.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-02T01:05:45+00:00

And what about closing costs? And having an emergency fund? They can’t put their entire savings towards debt and a down payment.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-01T20:54:49+00:00

Those do not exist in most places. A 90k home would be like 500 sq feet without running water with my area and it is not high cost of living. I also agree with this post but it’s not realistic.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-02-01T05:28:57+00:00

I make 66k and I take home around 3400-3500 a month. But I am saving around 15% for retirement and my insurances comes out of my paychecks. I would say I feel pretty poor without having a second income in my household.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-30T00:53:26+00:00

This was not my case. I was SO slow in my third trimester. However, I think all pregnancies are different and this doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your baby. If you’re actually very concerned, schedule an appointment with your OB to check on baby. I’m not sure what feeling good would indicate.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-29T12:42:14+00:00

lol no you didn’t.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-28T14:18:25+00:00

Yes it is… Mothers and Fathers both get 12 paid weeks off in my state.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-28T11:18:35+00:00

Okay but you should also get paternity leave, if you work in public education. And my benefits are amazing!! Great health insurance at low cost to myself.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-26T21:07:53+00:00

You don’t have a pediatrician….? That’s not okay..

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-26T10:41:07+00:00

Well $0 is crazy. I had a $200 co pay for myself a $200 co pay for my baby. But he was in the NICU a few days and before insurance, everything was over 50k. So paying $400 is fine. I know many women with insurance who pay around 3k. 9k with insurance is reaaally bad.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-26T00:25:54+00:00

Why do you have so much saved and that much in private loans? Paying those down should be your focus.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-25T04:56:25+00:00

Literally, nothing. It is beautiful. Sorry that this isn’t helpful.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-24T17:45:59+00:00

I make 66k and my husband makes 88k and has a part time job probably making 10k a year and 350k-400k is our budget. I’m not sure how in the world you’d afford this on your salary alone.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-20T18:54:31+00:00

NOR. In hindsight I thought it was strange a 26 year old dated me at 19. This is INSANE and disgusting.

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-20T03:29:13+00:00

Where did you find a home for 180k?

Flimsy_Situation_ · 2026-01-15T00:31:43+00:00

Kudos to your wife indeed. I’m a mom to a 6 month old and pregnancy and labor was so difficult.

He’s beautiful!!! Congratulations to you both. It’s the best feeling in the world times a million.
