How much do you REALLY need to make to buy a house?

I made just under $90K last year, expect to make between $90 and $100K this year and will break the six figure mark next year. For a long time I thought this was the kind of money you really needed to make to be able to realistically afford buying a modest home (at least in the metro NYC area). However, all of the "affordability calculators" out there are telling me I can afford much more home than I;m willing to believe. My vehicle is paid for. I have 0 credit card debt. My student loans are paid off. Yet, I can;t seem to justify being able to afford even a $200K home. After including property taxes, insurance and so on, the monthly expenses seem to come out to MORE than half of my monthly take home pay. How on Earth can so many people afford homeownership? Seems to me you can;t COMFORTABLY afford a home that costs much more than what you would make in 12-18 months. Forget 2-3X annual salary.

I;m at the department of Motor Vehicles waiting to register my car…. and I was here earlier and waited almost two hours but there was an issue with my paperwork so I had to go to my insurance agent and drive back to the dmv which took another hour and now I;m waiting again and the estimated time is 2 hours and I have also transfer my out of state license.So the issue is I told my boss I would be in by mid day and I really thought I would! But now it looks like I could be here until 2-3 pm and at that point its pointless to go to work.. because it would take 45 min to just get there. I;m afraid to call my boss and tell him I;m going to be here awhile…..He was mad I had to take time out today to go and now I;m going to tell him I may not be in at all… help!
