My current home has appreciated over $600,000 in less than 20 years and I wouldn't have been able to get into this home when I did if I hadn't stretched to buy my first home when I was younger.... which meant buying a home instead of a fancy car.

Anyways, this is getting off topic.

How do you figure? You said $500k, of which $135k is cash eq, leaving $365k, at 6% compounded over 8 years you’d still be hundreds of thousands short of 7-figures….perhaps youre assuming after tax & expenditures savings of ~$36k per year? Meaning you’re saving ~$2,000 a month after taxes & monthly expenses?

He would need to put in ~$20k/yr to hit 7 figures given a global 6% return. Not a stretch.

Depends on how you define “stretch”…putting every extra penny into the stock market on the hope that it continuously goes up every single year is quite a stretch!

$66k a year in a 401k is ultra high and if you have that much excess income it’s unclear why you would not be able to afford a home even with rates & prices where they are at.

Not adding up….

Ah, so contrary to what you wrote, owning a home IS in the cards…you just simply choose not to….HUGE DIFFERENCE! The truth comes out! Lol

What forum am I in?

This is the Cybertruck forum, correct?

Thought I somehow got on a Dave Ramsey forum or something.

Bottomline: it’s your CHOICE not to buy a home. Time will tell if that was the correct decision or not. My bet is that is a mistake. We’ll see in 8 years how home prices appreciate….

The fact that you are seemingly unaware that Rates are already dropping is not surprising….and you could have made the same argument when rates were at 17%…yet prices continually moved HIGHER…

SO AGAIN: YOUR CHOICE. And I bet you’ll regret it. And you’ll be 40. :)
