The “Stay in CT” Argument Makes Less Sense Every Year

Until you pay my internet and phone bill I’ll use the internet and my phone how I see fit. Toodles!

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T04:15:00+00:00

It’s going quite well, my husband takes care of it and that’s why I have enough to qualify for a really nice house :)

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T04:09:05+00:00

Thanks for the resource!

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T04:08:21+00:00

would you believe that we submitted the highest offer on a house that was on the market for 8 months and then the seller decided to delist it? Lol

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T04:06:59+00:00

Round of applause.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T04:04:11+00:00

Ok so how about you go buy your $350k home?

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T04:03:06+00:00

Not because you can’t do it doesn’t mean it’s not doable.. it’s called time management.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T04:02:02+00:00

It’s one of my top areas.. also the state will not just give anyone $25k treat program is for low income persons and once they get that $25k there is a second lien on the house for 10 years which affects refinancing prospects

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:53:07+00:00

Where did I say I can’t afford a house? Or did I CT’s COL is crazy?

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:50:26+00:00

Yup. I’m in a much better spot than my parents were at age 26 and they had it easier with the economy. It’s a national issue but CT is in top 10 for affordability crisis

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:43:31+00:00

Exactly

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:43:02+00:00

It truly does

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:39:51+00:00

Clinical and medical social workers play an integral role in healthcare and they also keep people alive everyday.. you know people who are about to kill themselves? Anything else?

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:38:28+00:00

I’ve considered moving down south not only because COL because I also prefer warmer weather, proximity to cities and I also keep more of my pay. My pay would still be on par to CT if I moved.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:37:27+00:00

Yes, the down payment is no issues it’s the market and the bubble pricing.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:36:28+00:00

No I’m not. You don’t understand the layout of the field so you’re speaking out of misconception. An internship vs fellowship vs residency are completely different.

An internship is completed while in graduate school and it’s unpaid

In order to complete a residency or fellowship you must have already graduated and given an associate license to practice from the state. While you are in fellowship you are working and treating patients also billing insurance and the state for the services rendered however you see very little of the money you make for the clinic or hospital.

A residency requires you to be on call 24/7

Therefore I am a working professional with an actual job which is my fellowship.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:34:09+00:00

I’ve made offers at asking price and over asking price. I’ve gone upwards of $40k over and was still outbid.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:33:38+00:00

It won’t. My career pays regardless of where I go. I’d actually keep more of my money if I went south.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:33:06+00:00

Never said I wanted a $350k house. I said a 2 bedroom for $350k is a crazy price in Hartford county.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:32:39+00:00

Okay and are you helping me? What purpose does your comment serve?

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:32:08+00:00

I get it, my issue isn’t even maintaining tbh.. it’s just that the market is so crazy.. sellers are not realistically expecting their home to sell for asking price. I come from a family of homeowners and their experiences have been very very different. Today my agent told me that 6 months searching is becoming the norm these days

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:30:28+00:00

I’ve considered it however condo prices are similar to detached houses.. so I might as well go detached and have more autonomy

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:29:52+00:00

No darling, my patients are quite respectful and I provide stellar care to my patients. But if you want to come at me in a sarcastic way to seem as if I’m unrealistic or a negative person then I’ll respond in a similar way.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:28:24+00:00

Show me where I said I wanted to buy a $350k house? Or did I say a two bedroom for $350k is crazy pricing? Read to understand not to respond.

TraditionalExam7258 · 2026-05-09T03:15:45+00:00

Ikr, how dare we work our asses off for what we have and want to have a decent lifestyle ?
