I wasn't counting eating out and golf and "wife shopping" since that is immaterial to the process of buying a home. However, even if you count those things, 5K is 20% of 25K. Nice houses here abound for 25K, for sure.
Or, maybe he pays a few extra points and gets a 5% down mortgage, he can now buy a 100K home. Lots of those available in TV now as well.

Next time I need a life coach, I'll be sure to PM you.

I might need his number too. Feeling like I need some advice. lol
