Out of curiosity, what is your mortgage payment as a percentage of your gross HHI

Anonymous
I believe this is much more useful than just a mortgage figure.

Ours is 15%

12% (payment includes the tax and insurance escrow--guess it is about 10% with just mortgage part. It's a 15-year note.). Was probably 15% of gross when we bought...incomes have gone up a lot. Yes, we are super conservative and bought well below what the mortgage brokers said we could afford.

15% - Man, we should have more spending money at the end of the month.

PP- the 31% is net, not sure about gross ...

That knocks it down to 20% when I adjust it for gross HHI.

20% PITI. That's actually less than I'm comfortable spending, but we have another large chunk going to daycare.

8%

But right now we are paying 44% of our net, as my husband wants to get rid of it in 3 more years!

Our net is probably close to 60%, but max out any retirement account we can get our hands on, so the number doesn't bother me.

27% with tax and insurance.

That seems like a lot, but we max 2 401Ks and have a dependant care account so that takes a lot out of pre-tax income.
