3 of my common Friends housewarming this week 2 in dallas suburbs 1 in Virginia (not northern) .

1 guy's wife started working last April. (She does not have a degree either, learning from youtube videos)

House equity, recession , interest rate ,  kids day care, h1b extension ita sollu chepukoni pothey last ki same apartment lo raoches kill cheyadaniki yedhi better ani threads yesukovali. 

I am not saying to buy the house but people are somehow making it happen. 

Do not believe what you hear, please do some research. and proceed. Do not take sonu words serious , try to explore options .

If you are against home ownership it is ok atleast invest in stocks or lands in India. 

Out of the 3 guys no is super talented all are doing normal good jobs.

Newly married or young kids couple have time to clwsr mortgage b4 kids go to college. Plenty of time to earn and save. 

How is it possible..any mortgage is 30 years.. even if they plan kids ten years late after the house..they still need to pay for mortgage and school at the sametime.. that is next to impossible..by that time market will settle..equity kooda emi migaladhu

I personally know 15 years loan unnavallu first kid college 2 nd year time ki complete chestharu lekka prakaram. But he got promotion/salary hike during Covid. And he may close it sooner. 

He does not have any burdens in India. 

ANd his house is like town home with good school rating he got it under 360K during initial covid days .

Salary hikes can happen, investments can multiply, savings if 2 people work 

if 2 people earn good income for 20 years, cant they easily afford a decent home and kid college?

That's true in the 90s and 2000s ..not anymore.. the current salaries doesn't even match 40% of the inflation. If they do multiple jobs that is another story. Not all can afford 2 3 IT jobs at the same time. This is what an average Joe assumption is..since we are making 300-400k with multiple jobs..all must be making somewhere close.. truth is majority of h1b folks are between layoffs and struggling to return to high paid jobs.

That is proper proportion..360k house is affordable with covid salaries..so for them American dream is possble.. for h1b folks who arrived in 2017 ..and going for 7k mortgage per month is like suicide.

But ala ani life antha rental lo undalem ga, you have to buy something eventually. If sfh is too much, atleast a townhome. 
home also has your family memories, there is no price to it

Also, don’t expect that your salaries will grow exponentially.

i think majority of the salaries will get capped around 200k unless you are in Bay Area or NYC.
