Either they work wells in bumfuck South Dakota or they are a SRE with a Silicon Valley company.

If they saved enough for a house in three years, either they have a highly lucrative job or they’re in a market where homes are cheap or some combination of the two.

Or they don’t live in the US at all. Wild concept, but entertain it for a second

I wonder if the Portuguese flag was some sort of clue hmm

My area, you can get a house for 100k, a better one for 200k. If you’re saving most all income from a 75k job like programming, seems reasonable to be able to afford a house in that timeframe. But that’s with very very little spending and still pretty cheap houses.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Where do you live that houses are 100-200k and programmers make 75k?
GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Where are “programmers” making less than 75k in the west?

Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, UK (outside of London)…

In Germany it’s difficult to get past 75k

Huh? Rates are crazy but you don’t need much to get into a reasonable loan. If they had a semi decent job, say, 75k a year, and legit only paid for the things they mentioned, they’d have enough for a down payment on a modest place ez.

Entry level jobs in Portugal are more like 15k a year.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Why would an entry level job in Portugal be ready to buy a house in the American market?
Tja@programming.dev 2 months ago
Because the screenshot shows someone in Portugal bragging about buying a house and stull living with their parents?
Jolteon@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
3 years is definitely a good amount of time to get a solid down payment. It’s not like a 25-year-old is going to buy a house with cash.

Are you suggesting Anon lied???

Depending on what anon does it’s possible. The flag is Portuguese you could pick up a one bedroom apartment for 3 years wages if you don’t live in Lisbon. Or in Lisbon if you have a good job.
