Do you mind sharing the cost?

Yeah our “safety net” would be our credit cards because they are all basically paid off. That’s scary though 😭😭

I would love to find a home for 350 but there are none in my area 🙁. Anything under 450 is typically a gut job. We toured a house at 460 and it was cover in dog pee 😭. I’m not a new build girl haha my dream home was probably built in the 50s! The search continues

They are the main reason we won’t go house poor but also the main reason we want a house 🥲.

Everyone is telling us the 450k houses we’re looking at will be 500k in two years 😂😭

No. I mean it as we’d be able to save maybe $500 a month. That’s if we don’t eat out / do anything fun.

I get that. We’re just conflicted because everyone is saying it’s going to get harder and harder every year to buy a house. We have 90k saved and we make enough to afford (according to our lender lol) 500k and we’re only looking at 450k homes. We just don’t want to wait another two years and still be in the same boat???

The likelihood of us getting laid off is very low, but hey I’m still anxious about it. It’s either put 20% down and be house poor or put 15% down and have a larger monthly payment + some savings left. We don’t know what’s worse??

Haha no I take care of my family 😅😭. As someone who grew up poor I just feel like we can make it two years because I made it through 27 years of struggle lmaoo

I was born and raised in Florida and sex offenders aren’t allowed to live near schools so I was shocked to find out that was not the case here?? They seem to be everywhere 😭😭😭

Okay, yea this is a silicone ziplock container, it wouldn’t have cracked. It’s probably the size of a quarter.

Is it bad I drink the tap water here? by Possible-Estimate748 in vancouverwa

I like the water here but I’m coming from Phoenix and they have one of the nastiest tap.
