Any idea how much I should be paying to paint 1800 sq feet house interior, ceilings, trim, and doors in HCOL?

Including paint or are you buying paint yourself? are you planning to go with a more large scale painting company, local painting co, or “handy man” type?

Both of these factors can make the price range from $1500-$5000

I received quotes so far for $8k-$20k including paint. This seems high as I thought it would be $5k.

So including paint would definitely push the price up, especially depending on the brand/quality they use. Additionally, other attributes can add cost (e.g. number of colors, surface type, trim type, existing colors they are covering up, number of coats, etc. it could certainly go above the range I mentioned.

I stopped contributing to my 401K for the last three months in order to pay off credit card debt. I am 28 and have about 68K in my 401K. Was this a smart decision? I want to get out of debt as quickly as possible and I have no student loans or car debt.

I’m saving up for a first home (3-5 yrs out, 30k saved) and looking for insights on safe amount to spend. HHI 300k (very recently doubled), 30k student debt, children in next few years, 29yo. We enjoy spending on vacations and hobbies so lower fixed costs, and interested in FI. Trying to figure out a balance between getting a dream home but setting up a secure future. We live in NE so housing and tax is high and stressed by the sticker. Any insights would be appreciated
