I can't afford a home, even though I'm considered a high earner. But always ask, how much is an affordable house? In California the answer can vary between 200k to a million dollars. Travel across the states and the range continues to stretch. I can't afford a decent house in California without disrupting my children schooling and schedule. But then you may ask, what is a decent house?
