Itās weird, I never really wanted to own a house until I experienced the LA area rental market. But buying will probably never be an option for us even with dual six figure incomes. š
Yeah man, like I definitely can buy one out here, but my quality of life would drop significantly. I've got enough for a down payment n we both make 220ish k/ year combined. I just don't want to spend all my fucking money on a place to shit and sleep.
Ours recently raised it by $100 too but we donāt complain because itās way cheaper than the local market. We consider ourselves lucky, but itās still a an expense that makes life painful.
