Same situation in DC! I recommend reading "The One-Page Financial Plan" by Carl Richards...it's a quick and easy read and gets more into the psychology of personal financial planning as opposed to just the dry investing tips/tricks.

So like 500k for a two bedroom shack? Time to move to some red state shit hole (read: Texas)

Look at the POPPY loan from San Francisco Federal Credit Union. It is specifically for first time home buyers in the Bay. They know it is crazy hard to give a down payment so they give up to100% mortgage loans because they know you can afford the payments, saving s are just hard to accomplish on that level for the down payment.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
