Yea you probably dont want too know what mine housing/insurance payments are.

I will say I own a house that requires flood insurance, Wind and hail insurance and normal fire insurance. I do however have a 3% VA 30year home loan. My house isnt in a community so I dont have to pay those HOA dues.

7.44%. That includes principal, interest, property tax and homeowner's insurance since its all rolled into one payment.

Should be 0 in another year or so.

Just looked at my bill from last month, $630 for taxes and insurance, $510 for P&I.

I have a solid job here as a UPS driver. 25 years until I'm 55 and retire.

Yup, monthly. Almost $6k a year for property taxes alone, on a 990 square foot house on 1/4 acre. I'm not even in Cook county.

About 30%, that's mortgage, insurance, taxes, and PMI.

Posted: 1/16/2015 3:27:25 PM EDT

[#14]

14% not including taxes and insurance. Those get paid outright at the end of the year.

ETA:

Just did the math, 20.8% all together.

None, but I still have taxes and insurance. It sucks when a paid for house costs over $3500 a year. It is not a very expensive home either.

Lol IL. I pay about $300 a year for 4 acres and 1300 sq ft home in Indiana.

I'm at about 25% for the total monthly payment (mortgage, insurance, taxes and PMI).

Posted: 1/16/2015 3:59:59 PM EDT

About 10% but I am living in a very modest home vs. my income. Moving soon and expect to be closer to 20%.

Would not want much higher than that but I really like buying shit and don't care much about showing off the house.

If I understand this post right (30% on mortgage, >30% on student loans), you're screwed.

21% of bring home pay (after insurance, pre-tax childcare, 401k, etc.) including taxes and insurance.

Posted: 1/16/2015 4:10:43 PM EDT

[#24]

Also, I'm at 23% including escrow, but in my defense, that's on a 15-year mortgage.

Mine is a 1/3rd as well.

18% for PITI, 4 years to go on a 15 year mortgage. It's comfortable.

what makes up your childcare cost? im a financial adviser and id say get rid of your kids and stop paying taxes

I’m about 45% and I think I’m doing better than a lot of people in my area.

Here’s stats for my area:
Average home price: $242,500
Average income: $33,473

Taxes are fairly steep here as well so even with a 20% down payment you’d have to be banking well over 6-figs in order to have a monthly mortgage bill be 20% of your take-home. There’s also a goodly amount of $300-$400K homes so I guess there must be lots of millionaires here too.

I honestly don’t know how some people do it. I make decent money in a professional level position, but I have neighbors (all our houses are roughly the same value) who work general labor, unskilled jobs.

Mortgage is 15%, another 25% goes to the rest if my bills. Remaining 60%=profit (I usually pay extra on the house, should be done in 5 years).

After taxes insurance and everything close to half of my monthly take home from my paychecks... but I also get a large amount of my salary in quarterly bonuses which is not included in that.

So, what I'm learning is that 45% is too much?

Haven't bought yet, but about 1-2 months away from buying.

It is a relative thing. Like I posted above, mine is 15% but I am nearly 50

and my 20 YEO Daughter's is close to 40%. Mine will be paid off and my daughter's

income will rise and she will be in better shape as time goes one.

She is smart though as she rents rooms to friends that effectively pays

85% of her mortgage.

Mortgage/prop tax in escrow/ prop insurance is $1249 per month.

We pull in between $4400-$5000 after taxes each month. We cut it pretty close sometimes, but eventually the kids will all be in school and not require daycare costs.

We are hanging in there.

30% of after-tax base salary. 15% of typical after-tax income including stock and bonus.

Things are tighter if we don't get the bonus/stock but it's not the end of the world.
