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

Banks approve for way more than you're willing to pay, my wife and I bought a few years ago for <300k, but were approved for over 550k. If we bought somewhere for 550k we'd literally be house poor for the next decade

I take 5mg/5mg THC/CBD gummies 1/2 at a time for this reason of cutting down the dose rate. I’ve never had a good THC tolerance even as a 200lb+ guy, and those put me to bed most nights with no problems.

I go up to DDM Cannabis in Blackstone, MA for what it’s worth

To highjack this comment, I use Cranston Welding Supply, I know a rep there and he uses their CO2 for his kegerator too

In a pinch I get tanks swapped at Blackstone Valley Brewing Supply (great shout to him), especially if I run out on a weekend when CWS is closed
