#housing #budgeting

so my partner and i sat down again last night and ran the numbers for the third time this year and it still comes out the same way, we can afford the apartment or we can afford a kid someday or we can afford to actually save toward a house but not two of those at once let alone all three, and everyone older than us keeps saying it was hard for them too like that's supposed to help, and maybe it was, i don't know, but it feels different watching the math just not work no matter how we rearrange it, and i'm so tired of feeling like wanting a normal life is the ambitious part

  1. This matches what my spouse and I have found as well. We ran similar calculations last spring and arrived at the same conclusion. It helped slightly to stop running the numbers monthly, though that is a small comfort.
