    Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody's giving her flack for wanting a 450K house, heck, I'd live in a million $ mansion if I could. It's the attitude that is rubbing people the wrong way. My small, old house is not reflective of...
