6 figures to be "middle class" in NYC!

My rent in SF is $3500 a month. I wanted to buy last year buy could not afford the $8000 mortgage payments. Maybe someday. It's worth it to me, I can't imagine living anywhere else.

If you don't mind me asking....what do you do for work? Secondly $ 3500 monthly rent--what kind of an apartment or townhouse or what?

It is a 4 bedroom house with a two car garage. I am self-employed and work with children.

You make more money here than other areas of the country. It's a trade off, I don't own but I really love where I live and feel that I am doing fine just saving money instead of taking on a huge mortgage.

Duh! I forgot about that. That does compensate.

WOW! A 2 car garage in the city of SF?! I'd figure that the space would've been occupied with all those people.

Yep--13 miles south of here. Interestingly enough--it would be sunny where I am at and when I go down there--it's cloudy/foggy.

That's a difference in only a few miles away ha. My friend in Bellingham said it has been foggy there for the last 3 weeks, he says it gets foggy very often there in the winters. I saw the fog there when I got there yesterday early evening..and the fog stayed there til around noon today, burned off....sounds like SF in a way, lol.

The house is built on top of the garage so there is room in the garage for 2 cars and an in-law apartment if you could get a permit. There are two floors above the garage and the house is attached to the houses on either side. I could rent a parking space for $300 a month but don't want anyone to have access to the house.

Yeah, it was. :) Too bad I didn't get to see Mt. Baker because there was clouds in the way, just a slight glimse on the bottom of the peak.

And no view of the Islands?

You guys in the homes @ bay area have nice views, esp the ones near the bay..
I like the loft homes, they look fancy and modern age to me...

I hate the parking though. It is a horror trying to park with a manual.
I'm from Socal, sarasf!
