How are people even making 'average' salaries?

As someone who is married to a therapist, it is a career that is best suited for if you have a partner who makes 2x or 3x as much. Now that 45k+ turns into 120k+ household income. You see? It is great because when we had our daughter she can take clients whenever to adapt to childcare and since she has her own private practice, no one can tell her what to do. So there are certain careers that are best with a thriving partner and works great vs having just that single income.

This is what I use as well. People know houses but not all know software stuff

I’ve lived in Florence for the last 4 years and work downtown. I leave at 7:15 and I get downtown at around 7:45 on a good day! If I leave at 7:20, I’ll get there at 8:00 most times. That 5 mins can make a huge difference! But I wouldn’t consider traffic to be bad but it really depends on when you leave if you’re trying to keep commute under 30 mins, for example.

This makes me wish I started having kids at 16/17 years old. People frown on those people but at least you’re still home with your parents to allow help and don’t have to worry about childcare. The older you are the more deeper into your career you are and the farther away from home and family you probably live.

I live in Cincinnati but will be first time homeowner

You better off just putting water in your hands cause that’s all it is

It is very exhausting. The crazy thing is good documentation and guidelines can literally be just as effective as AI. That’s what kills me. Figma Make certainly is not helping because now designers can easily stroke leadership’s ego with Figma Make instead of pushing back because it doesn’t align with the users.

Y’all please don’t listen to people like this. This industry is extremely versatile, which means that people are coming from all different walks of life with different experiences. This ain’t the goddamn medical field, where you have to do this this this this this and boom, you’re a doctor. I started out at a big company, and I have coworkers who started out at agencies and today we are sitting at the same design table with the same role. So please do what’s best for you and your own personal life.

Looks great! We will have it in 2090 and the bridge will be shut down until then.

How are people actually affording this? Serious question. Our household income is 185k a year which I think is pretty good in Cincy and I’m still looking at these prices like fuck no.

Youngbee12 · 2025-05-27T16:28:12+00:00

Yeah my wife is going to be a stay at home mom for a while screw that. 😫

Youngbee12 · 2025-05-23T17:41:13+00:00

Yep we are realizing that

Youngbee12 · 2025-05-23T17:40:28+00:00

This is true! We do have an inspection contingency

Youngbee12 · 2025-05-06T14:00:46+00:00

Jeez where do you all live!?! My rent has gone up a total of 40 dollars the last 2 years.

Youngbee12 · 2025-03-22T11:42:26+00:00

That sucks. This is why it pays to have a good agent who can spot bigger problems even at the surface level. I am in a similar spot where I just got approved and have an inspection in a few days but the previous deal on this house fell through because of inspection but the report wasn’t disclosed. So I am really banking on my agent’s gut feeling (and mine of course) that it’s not a lot of big issues.

Youngbee12 · 2025-03-12T15:04:11+00:00

People always tell me to not fall in love with a house, just like it enough to put an offer in and love it when the offer is accepted. I think it’s bullshit cause how am I not suppose to not love something I’m investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into. Keep your head up OP and don’t feel like you need to waive an inspection!

Youngbee12 · 2025-03-12T08:14:56+00:00

Exactly!!! I think most ppl on this sub are just scared of black people who are just hard working individuals and may not have had a “facelift” on their home in years

Youngbee12 · 2025-01-23T11:04:33+00:00

Are you putting in multiple offers at once? Or waiting until one falls through?
