With the price of real estate where it is now too, I'm not even sure what I'm saving for. My wife and I will have out loans paid off 2 years from now (her law school wasn't cheap), but after the loans are paid off, I'm looking at trying to save around $100,000 to $200,000 to have a respectable down payment so that I can eliminate the mortgage as fast as possible. Housing in DC is astronomically expensive, and pay premium isn't what it should be. Gen Y is going to be one of the most transient generations ever.
