I wouldn't say that!
We should do some cost comparisions. Others in the forum should add to this. Here is the typical monthly outgo for a small family that lives in California near any of the major cities - read: They have good paying jobs:
Mortgage: $1500 - $4000 month
Property taxes: $200 - 500 month
One car payment: $385.00 (Who has one car?)
Home insurance: $110 month
Auto insurance: $100 - 400 month
Gas/Electricity: $90 - 400 month
Garbage/Water/Sewer: $85.00 every 2 months
