Just say a few things from your heart, don’t pressure her, leave it open ended. And be willing to graciously accept her liking or not liking what you say. Life goes on either way, don’t over-invest in one person. If she rejects you, learn from it and move on. If she likes you back, congratulations you took your shot and scored!
The USA is huge variation but in my county median household income is $70k, median home price is $370k. It’s a rural area but with 2 cities within 40 miles or so. In my location travel north and income and house prices increase, travel south and they both decrease. My mortgage including taxes and insurance is $1,200 per month.
I don’t know many, but there is a movie called Brotherhood of Blades that I’ve watched several times and really enjoy.
