There are so many variables and everyone’s life circumstances is unique that it’s difficult to put A number

- Are you in India or in UAE/UK/US? And in the US are you in NYC or Cedar Rapids, IA?
- Single or married? Kids? Own a house or rent? What kind of car do you drive?
- Single or dual income?
- etc. etc.

Focus on living a full life and maximizing your savings potential. When your net worth hits a $1M sit down with a financial planner to chart out your goals and develop a plan

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
