What % of your household income goes toward housing?

ehhh... I don't want my school loans in my mortgage.
Plus they are about half the rate as my mortgage.

I just hate them because it feels like I'm paying them and getting zero return - money out of pocket.
Although, once I consolidate them it should reduce payments.

Mortgage interest is deductible, don't forget.

As I did my calculations, the difference in rates is more than outweighed by the tax implications.

But hey, your mileage may vary.

I live in NH and for me it's around 20 - 25% for our apt. We're also trying to save for a house so with the price of everything going up that is getting more and more difficult. Oh and the wife's car may have come to it's end so yeah... that's always nice too. SIGH. I'm gonna move to ND and work for an oil company or something....
