This is my income. It will rise to 2900 in 6 years. My wife currently earns 1400,-. However, I never know how long her full salary will last. Equity is 20000
In this case:
a) No salary increase counts. Purely fictitious; not relevant for financing
b) Wife's salary does not count before having children, because then it disappears and the child costs extra money.
Around 240,000 for a nice condominium for a young family: That is affordable, foreseeable, manageable and truly – great, and all for the price of rent for an apartment with 3 people. If saving works out, then maybe in 10 years with the second step (condo) then with the house? Or first keep renting, save, then townhouse/condo/semi-detached house.
