Yeah it's doable, but what opportunity costs and future wealth are you missing out on? That's the whole point. We bought our house before things got nuts. Because of that I can have a reasonable job, my wife stays home, and we have a bunch of kids we homeschool. Everyone else I know who's "middle class" that bought late has to work two corporate hell jobs and always can't understand how we can swing it. One of the main reasons is because our mortgage payment is 1/3 of theirs.
Sure, I mean I bought rurally so that helps me. I can maintain our lifestyle just trucking. But we’re also working on turning another property into a more self sufficient homestead too, so we’ll take what we can get.
