Good on you

That's pretty much what it is. I went to the rally with a few hundred bucks, I just saved the second job money for a few weeks. I'm cheap and don't like owing money.

Zuk, I didn't join to get rich, and the pay scale is out there for anyone to see. It does suck that a single lieutenant gets more in BAH to pay for his one bedroom apartment than I do to pay for my house with my two dependents in it, but I could go to college and become a douchebag if it really bothered me.

That's why I want to go Warrant. Keep the respect and get some of the ching along with it.

Sorry about the job man, I know it sucks working 2 anytime.

still don't know how somebody making $100k can afford a $250k, but oh well, he's a good neighbor.

I am calling bs, a home of that size costing only 250K..........This is Houston we're talking about, not Lubbock or some podunk town like that. Unless this is a ghetto part of Houston ---but I thought you were in a good part?

Also, how do you figure a guy making $100K can't afford a $250K house? Shit, he could buy a $400-500K house if he wanted, depending on his credit and how much he puts down.

The good parts of Houston are 15-25 miles away from the center of the city. They are still part of Houston though. There are plenty available that size for that price or less in the Houston area.

Even if you have no credit card debt, car payment, or any other required payment, FHA doesn't want you to buy more than $310k worth of house with a $100k income. I don't know this individual's situation but I suspect with an apartment close to base he has monthly expenses. I'm actually happy to hear about someone not spending every possible penny on a house.

Sorry about the job but sounds like you will be better off some where else.
