If you aspire to be a homeowner, 200k in the Bay Area will be difficult.

  As of 2022, it's now difficult anywhere in most US metropolitan areas.

    "Most of the US" != the five places you'd be willing to live. Outside of the HN bubble, a $200k salary _easily_ affords a home in most markets. https://cdn.nar.realtor/sites/default/files/documents/metro-home-prices-q1-2022-single-family-2022-05-03.pdf https://cdn.nar.realtor/sites/default/files/documents/metro-...

      Okay, but the important part is "the five places you'd be willing to live". There are significant reasons most of us aren't moving to the middle of nowhere to be able to afford a home.

      I meant to say 'major metropolitan' - Thanks for the clarification
