minus-square@Meltraxcakelink4•8 months ago$140k won’t buy you a house in almost any even remotely popular city or its suburbs.
minus-square@BreadstickNinjalinkEnglish4•8 months ago$140k per year is enough to afford a mortgage on a $500k house. You’d have to make crazy money to buy a house outright on a year’s salary, so nobody evaluates it that way.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•8 months agoIs 500k a house to raise a family in or just a place to stay in?
minus-square@model_tar_gzlink2•edit-28 months agoSan Diego checking in. $500k is a shack in someone’s backyard. Fuck I love it here but damn sometimes I really don’t. ok ok I exaggerate a little. But everything is crazy expensive here. Nice weather and beaches though. Get to surf every week. Can’t complain.
