We chose to live in our modest home while all friends and siblings went full ###### on the cheap credit. My mortgage balance as of today is ~28k...my siblings are north of 500k.
Wow, you're putting down over $4k a month on your mortgage (I'm guessing at this point it's almost all principal versus interest)? Or does that include a lump sum (i.e. tax return) as well. In any event, that's quite the feat -- by the time you're paid out you'll have some serious cash flow to play with
