Same here.. live just north of Decatur and have a combined ~$175k at 25 (and my significant other at 27), as we are both technology consultants... but my god I feel like we’ll never be able to afford the house we want in this city LOL.

 At least it sounds like you'll be able to afford a house, even if it isn't your dream house... The only guys in my office who have houses are the MDs/C-suite execs
