My parents were uber poor and on minimum wage when they got married and still were able to get a house (with a little help from family). Fast forward 25 years and I am not even CLOSE to getting a house even though I make a good wage. Even if I could get the money for a down payment, the monthly payments would crush us. I love this state but whenever I go anywhere else (particularly the east coast) I drool over the houses that are twice as big and half as expensive! No friggin’ kidding!
