I already know what Dave's gonna say, but I watch it anyways

[ragequit]

No, they should save for a house AND contribute to their retirement. If they start now they will easily be multimillionaires by retirement age

[ryant]

They are doing pretty good to be debt-free with 3-6 months saved in their early 20's, I am in my mid 30's and I still don't have all my debt paid off.

[pimpballer]

Do both... With no debt, you should still be able to do 15% in retirement and the rest of the savings for house.

[jackorban]

Dave didn't say "better than I deserve"

[georgecarter]

At least Dave didn't tell her to sell the car...

[drhoughton]

move out of CA. fantastic houses in TN for about 300k. keep investing.

[igorseprak]

If somebody makes 100K in reality he’s making around 75K after taxes.Let’s start talking net income please.

[luishdz]

I’ve been waiting for someone to ask this exact question

[mattj-k]

A large sum of my money is currently invested in the marke. This is one of my savings for a house but as it’s a long term plan, I can ride out the bumps until then.

[Sexybaby]

I would have told her to wait until she get an income so she can help contribute to the household expenses and savings

[djpuplex]

Knew it was a woman before I clicked. My husband and "I" means me.

[dayswithray]

Dave i think of you as my financial father

[chuckbenger]

Wow finally a responsible young couple!

[jdagrees]

Invest to buy a house in the future. A lower risk investment, like a low cost bond fund or ETF, would be excellent for that purpose.

[ThinkMoneyBenny]

I started investing in dividend stocks, and that accelerated my path to getting a house. 📈💯

[guyheavengym]

Not working and expects a job to make 30k. Yeah maybe skip the house for now and get some skills to earn a livable/ meaningful wage first.

[enigmathegrayman]

Time is the best friend for investors right? Well, at the current rate housing as escalated to, it will take you forever to save for a house! Might as well invest because forever is a lot of time for investments!

[Whatorwellsaid]

I graduated from law school at 25 years old. You don’t make much to start. And if you live in South Fla. or some other expensive part of the country you really can’t do both. I’m 28 now and still saving for the house. It’s tough.
