Now if you're into the finer things in life, $800k house, 100k cars, Gucci, LV, Saks 5th Av, 3+ kids, one can quickly end up living paycheck to paycheck or Greenslip to Greenslip
A single family home in most states is $700-$800K now a days.. $800K home is basic how. You old timers are out of touch with what the real world is like now. And I’m talking about ATL area, which is relatively low cost of living. You can get a condo or town home for $400K - $500K+ in most places that are good areas
