I agree. Of course in Cali and many other areas, it's impossible because there is nothing that cheap.
"200G is the most they should spend on a new home. Any more is just wretched excess."
Not a 200K house to be had in certain areas, esp. Calif!
"I think for most people, 200G is the most they should spend on a new home. Any more is just wretched excess."
That kinda money would get you a rough lot in my neighborhood.
For another $400 I could at least spend the winter in a Sears tool shed.
I live in a far NW suburb of Minneapolis and our new house I just had built came to 300k. And its 4bdr 2300sq. ft. A comparable house somewhere else in the country I have been told would edge close to a million. crazy :-o
That would be good if you could find the land to put it on for free.
How much should we spend for a car...or groceries nanny?
That depends entirely on where you live. Here in the DC area, that amount would get you only a medium-size cardboard box to put on top of a steam grate, not the large size.
