So why do certain firms let employees keep the unused per diem and others are use it lose it?

Come on man. The words you're using actually matter here. What you're trying to say is why do some firms use per diem (let us keep it) and why do some use actuals (expense what you spend). Per diem by definition is you get to keep a fixed amount.

OP : I dnt ask questions about things that I like. If you don't like it you are free to expense it within the limit. Your engagement mgr will like it.

It's to not have to process high volumes of receipts and expense reports. The cost of processing gets really expensive when exchange rates get involved. Currently on a project right now with per diem and it's great for all involved. We keep the difference and client doesn't go mad dealing with 3 exchange rates that fluctuate daily, by credit card, by charge posting date, by cash payment by client, by receipt of payment by us, etc. Decision between predictability and lower average cost (in a vacuum).

In my experience it's less firm dependent and more manager's preference

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home
