10/22/2024, 8:13 PMI think the only crazy thing on here is the mortgage no? Everything else seems ‘normal’. We could swap out travel for a combined YT and travel category

10/22/2024, 8:20 PMTheir monthly mortgage is approximately my annual mortgage...
But that's not the only thing. I speak for myself, but all those numbers are much higher than mine. YT and travel don't cost me anything near $20k/year. Even tuition is cheaper than that for one kid. I can keep going lol

10/22/2024, 8:21 PMRemember, this is presumably a family with one kid. Not talking numbers for 10 kids

10/22/2024, 11:13 PM@nutritious-raincoat-28876 but that’s a deal brag, anyone buying a house in lakewood or NYC area today has a mortgage of at least 5 - 6k a month all in

10/23/2024, 12:22 AMI wasn't referring to all in - property taxes were separated. You can't get a house in Jackson or whatever the new "outskirt" is for $500k?

10/23/2024, 12:23 AMIt's not a deal brag. I just bought what I could afford. I have 3 bedrooms. We'd love to host guests but don't have room anymore. Oh well. Maybe one day iyH

10/23/2024, 12:51 AMand not clear why they need private school if they're secular, maybe it's a social pressure
