I just don't get it.
I've been torturing myself watching shows on the HG network like Househunters and Househunters International, looking to see what houses are out there at what price.
Today's episode on Househunter International was about a San Diego couple wanting to buy a house in New Zealand.
She was a cake decorator - not a caterer.
He was a butcher.
They met at the grocery store where they both worked.
I looked up the salary ranges for both those jobs and I was thinking, hey here's an episode about people making regular Joe money, let's see what kind of houses they can afford abroad.
Their "budget"?
$500,000.00 :o :o :o
(the dollar is apparently still strong in NZ, the Kiwi dollar price was $800,000.00)
My jaw just dropped. How do two working stiffs whose jobs do not pay a lot, afford a half-million dollar home??!?!?
??? ??? ???
All I can think is that they saved up a great deal or inherited some money, otherwise, they might be these sub-prime people buying more than they can reasonably afford in the long run.

exactly...
I would SO love to see some shows featuring real people...if the median income is $100,000 that means that half the people have incomes UNDER $100,000 so....
where is the advice for them?
I will never forget reading about an older woman in Redbook...the poor woman was struggling so they brought in a counselor for her...
she had three cars and a pickup, a house, a cottage, a club membership...and couldn't get by on an monthly income of $13,000
::) ::)
my heart just bled for her...
