13 ppl pay =< 33% of monthly income on rent / property tax

6 ppl pay > 33% of monthly income on rent / property tax

    I own. I’m absurdly frugal and my personal religion forbids usury. When I married we basically put our incomes together for seven years and came out of it with enough money to buy a nice home outright.

    I cannot imagine buying in this market. We purchased just before it all blew up, and even then we considered it an asset bubble.

    The whole thing is rigged against anyone and everyone sitting below the top 5%, especially in the southern hemisphere and especially in the USA.

    We spend and put aside about 10% of our net income toward the home. Property taxes, utilities, and maintenance.
