Thank you all so much.
So you think $300,000 does sound like a reasonable amount that we will be able to afford?
Also, When we move out...I will be making around $70,000 and my (future) husband will probably be around $60,000-$70,000 (we hope!). But..he has $140,000 in student loans (darn law school). He insists on taking care of the student loans himself.
We both of 2001 Hondas...I have an Accord and he has a Civic...we are hoping they will last a looooong time.
As for my father...he is 74 and in fabulous health (thank you God). He has a lot more energy than I do and can run circles around me. I know that he has $400,000 invested in different stocks and mutual finds and the house is worth about $325,000 right now. That will all be split up between 4 children. So yes - at sometime in the future, I will be getting a somehow sizable inheretance.
