In general people post about their problems, they want help, suggestions, solutions. If you are happy and comfortable financially, that's not what you're starting threads about.
There are plenty of traveling posts that can only come from someone who can afford to travel, shopping posts, camp, gifts.
According to the threads, you would think that half the posters are in troublesome marriages, can't get their kids into school and have babies that never ever sleep.
Take care of yourself and your family the best that you can and pay attention to the advice of those in more frugal circumstances than you. With enough penny pinching, it is possible to get to a point of financial independence.

There is no other side to this story. I wish there was! |
Can you show me a home in Brooklyn selling for that low?
A house in Brooklyn sells for about double! You can purchase a small three bedroom apartment for about 650k, if you're lucky. My three family house in Brooklyn just sold for 1.6 million (which I had rented one of the apartments, and was asked to leave after the sale)!

Multi family homes are always much more than single family homes. And three family are even more than 2. It's looked at as an investment.
There are definitely single family homes in Brooklyn for 650k.

At the bottom of the housing slump 4 years ago it was possible to buy a house in Brooklyn for that price. We bought a house for $607k negotiated down to $590k. It's a three bedroom with tiny third bedroom and it's a two family but only rentable basement, not a whole floor. It is now worth approximately $900k four years later.
