Do you think it’s ideal to buy a house that one person can afford on their own if need be?
My partner and I both make around 200k combined income. We also live in an area with pretty inflated, outrageous home prices.
To get our dream house in this area I think we would have to spend about 500k. We are now starting to wonder if it makes more sense to go out of the city and get something cheaper with more manageable mortgage payments so both of us don’t have to be slaves to our jobs forever.
For the couples out there, what did you decide with how much house you could afford? Did you shoot for something with mortgage payments able to be managed by one person, even if both of you are working?
