Shit, for me to save 20% on a 500K property - so 100K. How many people can say they can comfortably set aside $1K / month in the DC area for savings (exclusive to your retirement savings)? It can be done, but it's pretty tough. That being said, it would take 8 years to do so...

I wish I had 100k to put down on my house
My mortgage payment would be like $500 a month :lol:

People that live in their parents basement.

Yes! We saved money by living in my parents' basement but we were making $66k combined then and rent payments were the same as our mortgage. Looking back, had rent not been as expensive as a mortgage we wouldn't have bought.

I took my time today. Normally about 6 minutes, but I didn't feel like pushing it as the weather was beautiful... so 9. That even includes time to wipe the mud off the seat from my ride the other day.
Oh... in the car? 3 minutes, tops.

yeah, i'm still waiting to find out where you work, haha. Would I have to take an equivalent salary reduction to get that deal?
