How is your net savings lower than your gross? I must be misunderstanding but you save 60% of your gross income? That can’t be 10% if your “net income”... and why are retirement contributions not counted as “savings”? And what does this have to do with buying a house exactly?

We are about to buy a house and I ran some numbers to see where we would end up but would like to get some additional insights on where others stand. I’ll go first.

Combined income - 440k
Kids - 2
Location - High COL
Gross income savings % - 60%
Net savings % - 10%
Major drivers - mortgage, 401k, 529 and personal investments

460ish combined, 2 kids, high COL, net prob a few nickels, drivers include 401k max, 529s, mortgage, 2 car pmts, Jeff Bezos.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

-Ability for the Sponsor/Fund to invest directly, indirectly and in equity, debt, Pref, etc.
To me this seems extremely cumbersome and would require multiple classes of (cont’d)

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline. Because of this, somebody making $100k cannot simply comfortably revert back to a $50k lifestyle. The slow growth of personal wealth isn’t noticed as ideated. Instead, we are never satisfied.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
