100k after taxes isn't that much, especially if you want to max out your retirement plans and plan to be paying a mortgage, plus all of the extra expenses that come with homeownership, which add up faster than you'd think.

Maybe if you plan to be very frugal in every other area of life, used car, not dining out or traveling much until you get a substantial raise, or buy a cheap home in an area with no property taxes.

Anything is doable if you're passionate enough and willing ti compromise in other areas, but to me it sounds pretty tight and like you'll have to make a lot of sacrifices to make it happen.
