I love that someone has informed me it is "simple math" yet she has never even bothered to consider the amount she takes home each month is not her yearly salary divided by 12. Anyhoo.
The holidays make me especially bitchy.
Re: I am being a beyatch on MM.
I'm so glad to live in a LCOL area. She makes $150k a year and can barely afford a 1BR condo?
She lives in NYC, I think. I would agree that a condo would be around $350k, probably more.

If they are bringing in 150Kish, their take home should be approximately 8K per month. It may be more depending on how much is deducted from the paychecks for 401ks, insurance, etc.
I could see one aggressively saving and living on 1K per month, after rent and saving. My expenses, including rent, prior to getting married was $1200 per month, and I rented nice places.
Utilities may be included in the rent, or pretty cheap. No need for a car.
I don't think a $350K condo is out of reach with their income. With a 20% DP, it would be less than their current rent. I do think it is stupid to buy a 1b and want to have a kid.
They are bringing home $111k. Everything else is her dreaming. Including wanting a $600k house.
