There are some good Catholic schools if that appeals, but it's not like you'll be buying a $1M house then. The privates are $45k (just checked CSUS) and your kid will be the poorest one there as the child of a lolfirm partner. |

Date: March 20th, 2017 5:55 PM Author: Maroon Sanctuary Regret Easily affordable.
Mortgage and taxes will be roughly $15k/month. Just keep 6 months (12 to be ultra conservative) of living expenses in cash. It would suck to dip into investments if you lose your job during a recession and your investments are also down 20%.
I'd personally put more money down though and only have $1.5m or less mortgage. If his wife is bringing in$250k and he is bringing in $500k+/year, it's highly unlikely they dip below $500k in combined income but one never knows and I wouldn't be comfortable shelling out $15k/mo on housing on a $500k combined income. It's doable but hard to save. |

Date: March 21st, 2017 4:54 PM Author: wonderful scourge upon the earth cuckoldry Keep in mind that income of $700-800k with a $3M house has a lot more discretionary income than $70-80k with a $300k house. There's only so much one will spend on food, nursery school, a car, etc.
Having said that, the house is a lot to carry, so concessions have to be made, and spending in other areas will have to be a bit less crazy. |
