The Patience is more impressive than the total in todays instant gratification world Saves for 6 years? Many people can't save for 6 months!

Once each of our kids roll out of daycare and into Public school, we’re planning to save the equivalent of that daycare payment into high-yield savings account, brokerage accounts, and 529(s) In the meantime, direct deposit splits right into savings keeps things simple

still don't understand why you've kept this money in a HYSA and bond index Even your vanguard settlement account has had a higher yield than the Ally HYSA and bond index Treasuries are not subject to state and local taxes, so that would have been hugely beneficial in CA, but also in CO compared to both bond index and HYSA

Lol wow What did you buy a million dollar house? I am a vet and used my VA loan to get a house for over 400k for just 5k down 35 interest rate And no property taxes due to vet disability status

I love you videos They are good for generation below and above millennial, and always wonder if you would expand by changing your name

I appreciate you sharing your story

Now that Treasury Bill rates are in the 5 - 55 apy range, have you considered using them? You can earn close to $9k in a year off that $165k You can get them at all major brokerages You live in CA, they exempt from state taxes

while you saved that 165k for a home home prices went up 200k lets hope not but just seems like that is how things work

We’re in Colorado Springs (in the Stetson Hills area), moved here also from LA, and were so lucky to purchase in 2017 before the prices rose Our house is now worth over 15x the price at which we purchased But your $ will go so much further here than in Southern California! Wishing you the best of luck in your future plans, and our town would be lucky to have you!

Congratulations!! This is a huge step for you and your family We recently, last year, moved to Colorado Springs and purchased our first home It was a huge accomplishment, but we did learn A LOT! Colorado is great for raising families, we live more towards the Briargate, northern Springs area In hindsight, we wished we would have purchased a new home, and/or walked through our home ourselves Being military, we had our realtor walk through for us via video I do not advise I don't want to clog your feed with unsolicited advice, but I am definitely open if you have any questions!! I am very excited for you guys :)

The main thing is getting out of debt, maintaining a budget that works, saving some money and living below your means We have our mortgage paid off and have reduced our expenses almost to the bone We have resisted selling off items we have that could get us some money but now I think we are ready and will sell off some stuff that will allow us to pay for one of our home improvement projects outside of our budget savings

You two are killing it!

That is a really Awesome Milestone! 🎉 it took me several years to save $40,000 Congratulations!!
Comment from : Robert Morris

I wonder if you missed out on opportunity value that you missed out on equity if you bought a house a year ago Even without having 20 down, you could have had a higher net value had you done so
Comment from : cam3087

But Would it theoretically have been better to buy a house in 2020 with a 3ish interest rate and lower price with much less of a down payment…? (I know we can’t predict the future and hindsight is 20/20 lol)
Comment from : J C

Am I the only one who thinks $165,000 IS a house? A whole house mortgage free? 🤷🏽‍♀️😂
Comment from : loveandjoy810

Great video, two questions, what is both of your ages and how long have you been married?

The vanguard settlement account is paying almost 5 right now

Hey Justine 😊 Well, I live in France so it might be a little bit different but all in all we are following the same path as you saving as much as we can for a downpaiement; we started last august on a 45K€ goal ( $50K) in 2 years with an annual household income of 65K€ In France you need a minimum of 10 of the price of the house as a down paiement and we are aiming for a 400K€ house maybe a bit more if possible! I agree it's taking a lot a work and rigor but it's sooo worth it and I can't wait to find the house of our dreams! We are currently sitting at 16K€ since August so for now we are doing well i think I just hope we can keep it up for as long as we need to without any major hiccup on our way I'm so excited for you to finally find your dream house and settle in a new countryside life 😊 thx for all your advice;even though we don't live in the same country most of the principles still apply! Xoxo

Thank you for sharing! Congrats on hitting this milestone! I’m saving too but as you pointed out in the video, inflation has bit into my ability to save even more But it’s alright, I’m still hitting my own goals too! Thanks for the motivation!
