[QUOTE="MostHelpNeeded, post: 5409997, member: 66806"] Where I am, a driver can no longer qualify for a mortgage at the median house price. Not even close. I'm sure that is the case for a lot of places. Too much money. I'm not talking afford, I'm talking qualify. We all know the banks will lend more than you can really afford. Entry level crap at $350k. Anyone who's been here a while, think about when you bought your first house. I'm sure you qualified for more than you spent, and had your pick of properties. I'm not talking lavish, just normal, middle class house. Just not the case anymore. I know there's bigger issues at play, and it's not the whole story, but it's one example...and it's an example of what happens when raises don't keep up with inflation. Yeah, if you've been at it a while, you can probably make it work as your income recedes little by little. But if you're at the beginning, well...good luck. [/QUOTE]
