5% down payment (haw-fuckin-haw by the way, all government assistance either is Only For Niggers or puts you out in the middle of banjo-fuckin nowhere, so you're GONNA put a down payment down) for a 350k house (bog standard for even most 2bed2baths) is $17500. 30 year mortgage is 360 payment periods, which comes out to only 933 a month!

...before interest, which is probably gonna be between %6.5 and %7 if you weren't a buttboy for Uncle Sam. Oh, and property tax, which can be between 3 and 11k a year. Probably also home insurance, another 1 to 2k a year.

Monthly payments come out to around $2500. With the 1/3 rule for housing budget, this is barely manageable if you're grossing 90k a year. Keep in mind, grossing- NOT salary, because at that approximate salary, fed taxes alone are between 22 and 24%.

Yeah I like jerking myself off over how spartan and successful I am too, but this is very clearly broken.
