    Bullshit you can’t. The GF and I make a mere $42/hr combined before tax and we are homeowners.

    How are you fucking up so badly, that you can’t save up enough for a down payment on a $300-400k home at $90/hr? I make less than a quarter of what you make. Where is all that money going?

      It’s possible that they live somewhere very expensive where 300-400k homes don’t exist

      The answer to your statement likely requires knowing where OP lives. There are many locations in the US where 400k houses do not exist.

      I corrected my salary. I am a consultant and I get around $89/h, but I take out about $26/h as my actual salary and save the rest for when and if I’m out of work for a time. So there you have it.

      I also live in the city where houses are like 500-800k. 👍
