> Where do you draw the line

You can own a house and support a family of 5 on a single income and retire at 65.

Where I live that is only really possible for SWE, lawyers, doctors, and execs.

You're welcome to move to one of the many, many places in the US where it's still possible.

  • That's actually a really great suggestion. It would be great if you could throw together a list of these many, many places and post it here, so we could think about what sort of moves we could make. Thanks in advance!

    • Large portions of the rust belt, midwest, and deep south for starters.

      There are many, many lists of the most affordable cities in the US. I see Buffalo, Dayton, and Wichita on them regularly as specific examples.
