Just bought a house. We’re both veterans with no kids and my husband is 100% disabled. There’s also 3 working adults in the house. We both saved a ton and his disability pretty much covers mortgage and utilities. We live in Fairfield county. It was $345k about 2000 sqft give or take.

We have fully paid off cars and even though we’re also in school we’re vets so that’s paid for.

There’s a lot of other factors and we carefully planned every step. Sometimes I don’t know how we did it as we feel so young (25,26) but you really have to map it out and don’t just rush to the first house you like.
