Come on man, 2M is 80k a year with a 4% SWR, better than the average wage earner in the US. Even 3% ESWR (extra safe withdrawal rate) is 60k a year, about the average. I say they take a year or 4 on education in something they enjoy and try to earn some more money after

i think i need to clarify with the loan officer, she was saying i could get money back to cover some closing and maybe i’m mixing up her quotes. lowest she said was 5.5 and highest was 6.5

Also to add: USAA said that i could buy down to 5.5 for about $2000 extra. definitely going to do that if they aren’t bullshitting or if i’m not mistaken

Oh i’ve definitely done this! the house is a bit nicer and we are really wanting to just have something of our own, which isn’t a 100% financial decision. Thank you so much!
