You had it rough. I had a trans am.

What a @Turdferguson

Because a $1500 mortgage is more when you include ins. and taxes.

And when you stretch yourself that thin you don't leave room for things like emergency funds and retirement savings.

900 a week is 4,050 a month. If one is paying 1500 for an apartment, why can’t they afford a 1500 mortgage?

I bought a 300k home making 64k. Had 3 kids at the time. My residence is only a lifestyle choice, not an investment.

One should only spend what they feel they can afford. In 2016 I got an approval letter for 670k. I settled for much less.

That’s some funny assed math. If 900 a weak equals 4,050 a month?

How do you come up with 900 a week equals 4050

I was just glad I wasn’t the only one. For a minute after I posted I was like, wait......

I know we aren't your average family but 15-20% of our income has always went to savings/retirement. When you just consider that a monthly payment it really cuts down on what you can "afford"

I used the standard 4.5 weeks in a month.

 

[Brownslave688]

I did the math it's $3900 but I always figure 4 weeks per month so you give yourself a little leeway that way.


So that's $3600

Standard huh.


Last time I checked there's 52 weeks in a year not 54.

You must not be old enough. So you want to squabble over 150 bux? Assuming that your 900 a week is correct.

900 was probably high considering that's only $250 a week in taxes


Considering $150 a month is equal to about 32k on a 30 year mortgage at 4%. Yeah I'd say that's worth it.

not entirely true, sometimes there is 53, depending the way payrolls fall

 

[Jkloc420]

and actually 2017 was a 53 week year

 

[Brownslave688]

not entirely true, sometimes there is 53, depending the way payrolls fall

Yeah probably not a great idea to budget for 53 paychecks every year.
