I’m an SC but have no MBA. At this point (29, married and expecting kids, have a house) is it worth it for me to pursue an MBA? I have a lot of family responsibility coming up so not sure if I can afford losing income for 2yrs and take on 100k+ in debt. Am I thinking too short sighted? Will having an MBA have a dramatic impact on my career here at Deloitte? Figuring this out is my New Years resolution next year.
Anyone have a crypto kitty?

Not all.
There are many towns like this in America. On the east coast, it’s places like Greenwich, Darien, Scarsdale, Short Hills, Jericho, Roslyn, etc.
You can maybe get lucky and find starter homes for like $1.2-1.5M, but most people in those areas are living in MUCH nicer homes. Combination of family money / trust funds, and just the extremely high paying backgrounds (founders, doctors, surgeons, consulting partners, attorneys, etc).

I bought a condo in 2010 (near the bottom) in another city, upgraded it, and lived there for 8 years. Sold it in 2018, then moved to a SFH in Orange County. Was able to put 35% down based on appreciation and principal paydown. Current house has appreciated by around 25%, so if I sold it now, I’d have plenty of cash to put down on a nicer house.
I had a very small amount of help from my parents on the first condo, but paid it all back in a few years. A lot of people can afford houses in OC by buying a “starter” property and letting it appreciate over time. It’s definitely not easy to just buy outright as your first property, but there’s a long game to be played.
