Found a nice house, top of our price range, but requires us to move from our low priced starter home. The economy seems like a mess and economics was never my forte. Is it a bad decision to try to move up given current trends?

    If top of your price range means you’ve already calculated for what would happen if your income was jeopardized, then go for it. If top is living beyond your means, then probably not a good idea any time.

      in usa top of our price range means it’s more than they can afford and they are betting on their income going up in the future

        Yeah it’s rough, but depends on your job and where you work. If you’re remote you have a lot of affordable, albeit undesirable, places to live in the US. If you’re working in a metro area you likely won’t be able to afford anything decent in the immediate areas around you.
