Getting broke !

Not sure how people do it but being single and living in Northern New Jersey is mind blowing to me. Think about it, you're a young urban professional and pull down decent cash and you struggle to just buy a condo in a prefered place. Just doesn't seem right. I definitely understand why people communte 1 or 2 hours to get to work. Regardless, all the money I that I saved the last 5 years I've spent in a matter of days trying to purchase a 1400 sq foot condo. I've been fortunate however to have friends that know people like lenders and lawyers, and parents that support me with their devoted guidance including finding the condo I'm purchasing. All I had to do was cough up some cash ! So please forward me any opportunities to use double coupons and people willing to shack up with a broke x-yuppie.
