I'm not saying that's always the case but just my experience. My wife and I are both in fairly well paying fields and live in a (relatively) lower cost of living area, but we both had specialized degrees, 5 years of college each, and had to take out student loans to pay for it.

If we didn't come out of school with a mortgage worth of debt already, maybe we could have payed for a house that expensive, but the reality was that we knew our means better than what a lender would have wanted us to believe

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot
