The Surprising Future Cost of a $1K/Month Car Payment

Poll of the Day
Looking at buying a house for 975k. I can put down 20%. Based on my estimations this puts us at $6200 a month for housing (PITI and utilities) at a 7% rate.
I’m in my early 30s and make 170k a year. This is likely to go up to 185 next year, maybe more long term, but don’t want to count too heavily on that. Employer pays for majority of health and dental.
Wife is stay at home mom for the next 5 years. Might make some side hustle cash but nothing consistent. After little ones are in school she will likely bring in 100k (what she would make in her field today if she worked full time).
We live in a moderately HCOL town. Our current rent is $2500 and we feel lucky with that. It’s small and getting difficult with one kid and another on the way.
No debts. One car paid off. Will still have 100k in retirement savings after down payment and an emergency fund of $30k.
The house also has an ADU which we can rent for $1500 per month. Will need to invest a bit in the adu to get it rentable though maybe 3k. This would bring housing cost down to $4700
Would you feel comfortable purchasing this house with these financials?

We’ve all been there. Missed deadlines, broken promises, unfulfilled dreams – the easy route is often to point fingers, weave excuses, and sigh dramatically about the cruel hand of fate. But what if I told you there’s a superpower hidden within this mess, waiting to be unleashed? It’s called taking responsibility.
It’s not about self-flagellation, it’s about empowerment. When you stop blaming external factors and embrace the truth – that you are the architect of your own life – a shift happens. Suddenly, the world isn’t a chaotic obstacle course, but a playground of possibilities. Here’s a glimpse of what awaits you on the other side of the blame game:

As ‘Betty Childs,’ the quintessential mean girl in the 80s hit “Revenge of the Nerds,” Julia Montgomery was the embodiment of high school elitism—popular, privileged, and dismissive of anyone outside her circle.

10 Videos Of Convicts Freaking Out After Being Sentenced To Prison
A 19-year-old convicted killer flew into a rage in a Houston courtroom after a Harris County jury sentenced him to death.
Dexter Johnson was one of five men who carjacked 23-year-old Maria Aparece and her boyfriend Huy Ngo as they sat in their chatting on a summer night more than ten years ago. Prosecutors during his trial alleged Johnson had “fun” when he and his friends carjacked the couple and drove them around town demanding money, credit cards and ATM access.
Then, they parked near a patch of thick woods and forced Ngo to listen as Johnson raped Aparece in the backseat. Afterward, Johnson shot Ngo in the side of the head execution-style before slaughtering Aparece with a shot to the top of the head.

The Man Who Fought World War II for 28 Extra Years
The jungle sweltered, a thick canopy choking out the sun. Insects buzzed in a relentless symphony, punctuated by the occasional screech of unseen creatures. For 28 years, this had been Shoichi Yokoi’s world, a far cry from the rice paddies of his Japanese village. A soldier declared dead, he was a ghost haunting the verdant shadows of Guam, oblivious to the war’s end and the life that had moved on without him.
