And if you have kids, they’re gonna get buillied so much. Source, I am that kid. Moved from Brooklyn to Philly, sure, housing was more affordable, but school ratings went from 8/10 to like a 3/10. Such hell.
minus-squareBombOmOm@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down9·14 days ago you have to choose more slum-y areas Here is a random home I found after only a few seconds of looking. 3 bedroom home in Colorado Springs for $265k. Easily affordable at the stated $100k/yr income. You can’t afford to buy a single family home on $100k/yr in my area. you have to choose more slum-y areas Lots of homes are easily affordable with that income. Buy elsewhere.

Said 3 bedroom home for $265k is quite affordable on $83k/yr. unless you have a fully remote job And if this is the case, you are doing even better and have a shitload more options.
minus-squareSoggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·14 days agoThere’s the additional cost that my whole family and all my friends live in the “Greater Seattle area” where housing is outrageous and climbing. If I were to move somewhere more affordable it would mean losing my entire social support system.
