Max you would spend on a condo/apartment with about $1.5M NW and 500-750K income? No kids so no fixed costs currently for childcare and school though could see those emerging in the next five years. Otherwise pretty low key lifestyle with maybe a few meals out a week. Interested in hearing both from a purchase price and rent perspective. Thanks!

Depends on how much you are willing to put down as a down payment. I, personally, would not exceed $15k/month in mortgage/HOA cost with that income. That being said the difference between 500 and 750 is huge. So maybe 10k is more reasonable. So I would back into those numbers.

Similar NW and HHI, looked at 2-2.6M houses in CT. If staying in NY, be prepared for higher property taxes for the same price range, so I’d look at lower price range.

I can’t stop feeling so behind all the time. It seems like every one of my peers doesn’t have to worry about student loans, car insurance (paid by their parents still) etc. I keep thinking about how if I didn’t have all these bills I’d maybe have some savings that I could be proud of. Currently A2 making 65K in HOL and I feel like I’ll never be able to save up for a down payment or wedding or anything. Just feeling discouraged.
