What price house should i get? -

I am going to become a pharmacist when I am about age 23. I want to marry when I am 24 or even 25. I want to know how much years I should invest money and when should I buy a house for my family. I know that pharmacists make about 100-140k since I am going to put some extra hours to earn more money. I want to buy at least a pretty luxurious or Victorian style house. I also want to make sure that I don t spend all of my money on a house because I want to enjoy life also. I want to move to Long Island, West Chester or even buy a great house in NYC Queens if they have one. What prices should I get and how many years should it take to realistically buy a nice house. Please give me good advice. Thanks.|::::|There are excellent mortage calculators out there. google: mortage calculator Keep in mind that if you do not put 20% down on a home you will pay that nasty PMI. It does not go into principal or interest, and its not tax deductible. A monthly mortgage now cant be more than 35% of your income or 42% of your total debt. My rule is put that 20% down. Trick to finding a wife that can think of the future and not spend all your money. Serve her a 3 course meal. Put all the food in front of her at once. If she eats the dessert first - run away. She will never save for the future - and she ll be fat. /
