Yeah, I would like to make more money but its great to enjoy the people who you work with and the work itself.

Obviously, the “average” wage earner trying to get into the housing market in the next few years is going to find it very difficult! That is why I started looking at this blog. I realized that if me and my husband, making over 6 figures, living a frugal life, could barely afford a 2 or 3 bdrm condo something wasnt right.

My problem now is I work downtown and live in Encinitas. Funny thing was when I graduated law school I was offered a job in Carlsbad and I thought that would be too long of a communte for me living in PB. I may look for something in North County in the future, the coaster is nice when I can take it but it wears on you.
