How to Balance a Home Purchase with Saving for Retirement?
Scott and James discuss how to balance a home purchase with saving for retirement.
Listener Question:
We want to stay in manhattan and want to be home owners but can’t make the math work. Our current rental 2 bed 2 bath just went up to $4400/mo. A comparable condo would sell around $1.3-$1.5m. That would put the mortgage at around $7,000 with another $2,000-$3,000 in maintainable and taxes a month. Rent does keep increasing and I don’t want to keep getting squeezed but does buying in Manhattan just not make sense?
Planning Points Discussed
- Utilizing Time Efficiently
- Capital Appreciation
- Purchasing Power
- Other issues (IRAs, Inflation, Financial Goals, etc.)
Timestamps:
2:30 - Priorities
5:25 - Various Goals
8:12 - Life & Math Don't Always Match

I am currently 33 years old, single, and am nearing a $129,000 annual salary. I have been investing in a Roth IRA and realize the phaseout limits for single taxpayers are from $129k - $144k.
