My shop,house,kids,toys everything is less than most of your house payments!!! I need a better job. I was thinking I did pretty good. You guys make me look pretty bad. I owe a total of $75k to the world. It should be paid of in 4 or 5 years. If I made the money you guys made I wouldn't owe anything. I'm happy for the folk's that make big, it gives me something to shot for. Is anyone hiring??:D I work for cheap. Jeff

My motto is work more sleep less!! I'm just lucky to have a decent income in an area where the average household income is fairly low so it keeps prices on most places in check. I believe the avg here is like $55-$60K a year and with my wife and I making roughly double that we do pretty well on what would be considered an avg income in other areas. I work for a laboratory as a regular job and own my own business too. Wife is a office manager for a local bank. I get disgusted though when I start looking at hours worked versus money made lol!! 120+/- hour weeks aren't uncommon during the busy seasons and some travel is involved sometimes.

Tick over 700/mth & that includes taxes & INS in escrow. It's appraised 225k but we got it on a short sell for considerably less & had a large down payment as well.

I don't make as much in a reg 160hr month as some of you all pay for your house a month.

I guess Im on the right path with mechanical engineering school :thumb:

Im 24 and I rent. Average house prices around these parts are pretty high. Vancouver and Victoria are both about $450-500K median house price. It will be a while before I can afford to get into the market.

Props to all you other young guys though.

You need to look into NACA you can't beat there rates hardly. Its not just for first time home buyers, but there are some criteria you have to meet. We bought our interest rate down to 0.25% fixed. You can bet I won't pay it off early. It does suck when tax time rolls around and you only paid a few $100 in interest for the year though.:rofl:

Just to show how housing prices range drastically from area to area, I just bought my first home this summer in the Salt Lake area. 1950 sq ft 35 year old home w/ detached 24x24 garage on .40 acre that was just remodeled. Paid 160,000 out the door. I pay 1085 a mo @ 5.0 fixed (includes escrow/tax/ins). My parents house in Alaska is about 2500 sq ft now on .50 acre, built in 1980. Their house was recently appraised at almost $350,000. And that is in this shitty real estate market. Location changes everything.

Im in the process of buying house/farm and the thing that is pissing me off is there arent a lot of options for annual payments. When you farm and are trying to start out that is the best way but banks dont give a ****
