$400k but we bought when rates were <3%. I honestly don’t know how we’ll ever afford to move. We don’t feel house poor but I don’t think I realized how much maintenance/upkeep costs before buying especially since we purchased a fixer upper. We’re in Mt Washington and absolutely love our neighborhood.

3 bed 2 bath in South LA, just outside of Inglewood. HHI ~$425k. Bought in 2021 and have a 2.8% rate. Would eventually like to move to a better neighborhood and bigger house but current rates make that very difficult. Currently we’re exploring adding on to our house to make it a 5 bed 3 bath (6000 sqft lot but only 1200 sqft house w/ big backyard)

HHI is around 500K between my husband and I with 1 baby. Sadly, I still don’t think that’s enough in LA. 🥹 especially in the areas we are looking at - Pasadena, Los Feliz, Eagle Rock

Yes anywhere that’s not the west side basically lol

280k (my husband doesn't make much) no kids. Silverlake. But we bought in 2021 with a 3% interest rate and our home value has gone up about 65%, so I feel good about it.

I felt house poor when I first bought but that lasted about a year until I made slightly more. Now I love my low rate and low mortgage.

Do any of you feel “house poor”?

@M1 I’m currently paying about $4300/month for a nanny. Feels ludicrous but the nanny is great and considering this is her FT job it makes sense. We’ll likely go day care eventually and I think that’ll be around $1800-$2000/month

What about Van Nuys? that’s where I bought my first house. There a lot available under $1M. It’s not Pasadena or South Bay and we moved before our kids were in school but it was fine.

$500k, westside, 2 kids under 5 (daycare is killing us..)

Wow. Where in LA? I’m east and it’s $800K+.

Whoops. I misunderstood. Haha. My bad. I don’t even know what HHI is. Y’all are rich.

I’m around 21 weeks and have been dealing with a lot of leg, tailbone, back, and general muscle pain.

Currently I’m switching every hour or so between my kneeling chair and standing.

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work). I finally asked a colleague about it today because I’m concerned about my Director. She confirmed that she’s noticed the same over the last few years, but no one ever says anything. In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?

How do you get experience when no one will hire you? I wouldn’t mind hanging a shingle but I feel it’d be irresponsible to do so with no experience.

I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?
