i know the general rule of thumb is 30% of take-home monthly income. Moved to New York recently but throwing that much money personally feels like an opportunity cost. Mine is around 10~13%. TC: 240k
3% household pre-tax income. That’s why we are renting
Can someone create a similar poll for how much of the paycheck goes for the mortgage payment? That would be fun to watch.
My mortgage is 30% right now.
0%
I bought. so it’s closer to 25%
Renting is not throwing money away and it gives you more flexibility. If you think like this then paying mortgage interest or property taxes are also throwing money. Try to pay the minimum amount that would make you happy. If you do not mind having a longer commute then go to a suburb and pay less. If it is important to be in a city center then you may get rid of your car and associated costs.
