I like Vancouver a lot, but yeah, it's way expensive.
They have about 2 feet of yard, look the same and are ugly.
How much money do you make per year?

Well, a house that size and that price isn't intended to be sold to single person. That's a family house. For a married couple bringing in two salaries.

What I can't wrap my head around is the price, why would you pay $800k+ for that. Boggles my mind

Yeah I just looked at the link you posted.... idk how..... Supply/Demand? I guess if there isn't much single family housing available much less new stuff then you get to name your price for these places.
If you put one of those out by me I would think it might go for 200-300k which even then seems high to me.

Shit try divorce then pay it for two kids. Do what you suppose to do them you have to pay 1/2 of their college per the law in Illinois. How are divorced parents who pay support suppose to save for college and to think that if your married you don't have to if you can't. Crazy law.

- ND is horrible.
Schools are always a huge component.
Do you know how many people I know that paid 100k-200k premium for super premium public schools (NT/GBN/HP/Deerfield/Stevenson/Hinsdale Central/Naperville North, etc.).
Especially among east coast refugees and in certain ethnic groups, there is a huge prestige factor in where your kid ends up going to college plus it's important for certain careers.
My folks were grad students out east when I was born, and they always sacrificed a lot of house/car for the schools I went to.
If you live in the northern Burbs you've seen these stickers on SUVs for yrs...

Right now, just over 30k, but I just got promoted so next year will be between 40-50 and over 50 in the next two years. That said, I'm current mulling over a considerable jump at another job I've been offered. Problem is, I've heard it's a miserable job from people I know who have/still work there. I don't want to be miserable for a few extra bucks, but the raise is such that I have to put it into consideration. Good thing is it's an open ended offer, so I can consider it for a while.

That it does.... it becomes hard to decouple the stress of the job from your life at home.
It is kind of scary how much a shitty boss can **** up your entire life... dread going in to work.... dread meetings.... dread one-on-ones.... dread performance reviews... dread asking for anything.

Amen to this. It's BS this country doesn't have "free" school, instead it's BIG Business.

Agreed, those look like absolute shit and it's amazing people will pay for it. This is why I like living in the Midwest. I am in a gorgeous neighborhood with parks, nice yards, and gorgeous homes. I live in a 3,500 sqft house, one of the smaller ones in my subdivision, and it was under 200k. My monthly paymeny is around 900$ with insurance and taxes.
My house looks MUCH better than the ones you linked, incredible.

That's what I keep thinking too, but so far neither of the people I asked worked the actual position I'd be working. I'd come in as a supervisor. I've been weighing the pros and cons, and the only con is that I might not like it. That's immediately countered by, I might like it. Everything else fits. It's half the miles of my current job, no tolls, full-time, benefits, and I'm looking at about a 30-35 K raise. But there's something that keeps telling me it just seems too good to be true. I need to find out if the position has a high turn over rate, be it through people constantly quitting, or lay-offs.
Been there, done that. For crappy pay, nonetheless.

Wife and I are in the healthcare field and we do alright. Finally finished paying off about 500K in school loans about a year ago. Boy was that a relief. Was lucky to have the wife help me pay it down fast. She was lucky to not have any school debt of her own because her parents paid for her education. We worked extra hard in residency to moonlight and make money on the side. At the same time we were paying down the debt, we also managed to fund our retirement account. But now that the school debt is lifted, the only debt we have left are the house and the practice. Those could be taken care of within 10 years. I'm also trying to get in on my father in law's biotech company before it starts trading publicly.

yea...I was the dumbass that thought "ooh...private school/big name school will be better than going to my state school that was giving me scholarships". That was a mistake. Average student debt for the field is around 200K nationwide. So I guess, it's around the same debt that wife and I would have had combined if we both went to public schools with no scholarships and she didn't have her dad pay for her education. At least this is what I tell myself to make myself feel better.
