She’s making 200k AFTER taxes and can’t shell out 1.5 million? She’s just cheap.
For her to pay for a $1.5 million home it would take every penny of her take home pay for almost 8 years. I'd hardly call that cheap, I'd think paying $1.5 million for a home at her take home pay would be downright stupid. I know prices are out of control for houses nowadays and it seems like everybody is paying over a million for a house, but if you're paying $1.5 million for a house then you'd better be making at least a half million a year to do it comfortably.
