what percentage of gross monthly pay ought a person spend on housing/rent?

>> No.14247699

0%, just live with your parents

>> No.14247700

15%

No more than 30% but ideally way under that. Most idiots now a days happily pay 40-50% just for a shiny house.

>> No.14247715

Should be 20%. If you can't manage that, move to another city.

>> No.14247724

0% you shouldn't rent and when you start renting to people make sure they can pay their rent three times over for safety

>> No.14247967

Yes, but 3X after tax is 4X pre-tax coverage.

Paying 10% right now. I don't make alot, just got a cheap living situation

>> No.14248131

>>14247681
Paying close to 80%

>> No.14248157

Ideally 25% or less, usually 33%, or 40% if you live in SF or NYC

>> No.14248169

>>14247681
10-15% if you want to save and invest 40-50% of income.

A back of the envelope calculation - you need to make about 3.5x average salary in the city you live in to get this ratio.

Do what i did.

Save up 50k.
Get online business.
Move to E. Europe.
Buy small house + 5 acres. Will cost you 30k. Use the other 20k for improvements.
Real estate taxes on the above? Lulz. I Pay per square meter on the land. I can have whatever i want on it and pay the same price. Therefore about 90$ a year.

I'm done with the jewish-american mortgage-debt trap + taxes.

Depends on the type of accommodations they're willing to pay for. If you aren't paying a mortgage on a house or condo, you really shouldn't be shelling out more than 26% or so of your net monthly. Paying off something in your name is different, you can just rent it out and let it be self sufficient.

internet in the country isn't great. it's comparable to ADSL in the US. I get 20 mb/s down, 1 mb/s up for about 25 bucks a month(comes with a cellphone plan too with unlimited talk/text and 5gb data.) for what it's fine.

as for the biz, i do some consulting work, program some stuff for clients in the US. get paid in USD convert to local currency. if you can make 20-30K a year online that's the equivalent of 100k per year in these areas.

they got bad because low IQ individuals flooded america and other nations so that boomers could enjoy "muh gdp gainz." they literally sacrified all future generations so that they could live comfy.

>>14248915
if you haven't been around e. europe long enough you should check it out. there is this thing called the "babushka network" where you have 100's of grandmothers who shame people. if you do something in the country, trust me, everyone will find out. i don't do stupid shit, only date chicks that are worthy of marriage material. i dont want to get get impaled by some farmer here. outside of that, you can hire these people to work on your land. i pay some dude 30$ a day to do gardening and manual labor work because I am too busy w/ the biz.


oh did i mention that major cities nearby condos go for 50k-100k for a 2bed 1 bath? you can live the city + farm life. for all in < 150k. Canadians and Burgers get triggered by this.

Good loyal sons. Seems like generally nowadays children in the West let their parents rot in nursing homes.
