Thank you all so much.
I will NOT be buying until about 2 years after we are married.
I keep thinking...gee...if we can afford $250,000...then we should be able to afford $275,000...oh heck...why not $300,000?
It's hard to stay focused on a more reasonable number.
$250,000 doesn't get much around here...but I guess it is what we have to deal with. I would like to buy something that we are going to stay in for a while and not have to move out in 5-7 years.
If we could get something that we see ourselves in for the long term- pay it off early...that would be amazing. I know that the first few years may be tight.
Thanks all!
