<prompt> Human: Sorry in advanced. I didnt have alot of good financial role models growing up so as a young adult Im trying to put it all together myself. Can someone explain to me how anyone can afford a house now with student loan payments? Between me and my wife, we make 90K a year in a High COL area. We also have 75K worth of student loans between us. With monthly payments around 600-800 a month, how are we supposed to also buy a house? Is there something Im missing? Thanks so much. Again sorry if this is a common questions I just dont have alot of hope that Ill have things that people are supposed to have?  <response>: You dont. 90K in HCOL with 500 in SL is probably not suitable for home ownership.
