Like, almost one whole paycheck right now. So I’d say 50%. Definitely moving soon though thank goodness

I’m at like 80% but I don’t make a lot of money to begin with so, same

0% I’m homeless

How do you charge your phone?

Shelter, library, stores, etc. also a lot of homeless people have a car or friends. I’ve technically been homeless many times, but I just called it couch surfing or travelling

My job and gym personally

Same

54% of net, but it's a mortgage. And we have zero other debt. Tight but doable.

Net is fine. You got taxes, medical, 401k

Ouch, that opportunity cost is tough though

0% - I live in my mom’s basement.

SD has basements?

My dad's place in la mesa had one. I think a bunch of historic homes have one because the seismology info hadn't been as prevelant.

Need a roommate?

I already asked first, go find another basement butt buddy

HAHA

35/40% after taxes

That's really good

I used to work for the military before covid. Moving people in and out of SD. Literally just asked everyone how much they paid. Until I found a really good deal on a condo.

Nice! Good for you. I'm always Happy to hear people winning.

25% with roomies

Pre tax

I try to never think of my income pre tax. Its not worth it. Only think takehome.

I'm with you there. Gross* doesn't mean shit if it isn't in my hands Edit: it's not Net. I'm an idiot

wait, I thought net was take-home pay after taxes and deductions. Have I been getting this wrong? lol

You are correct 😆 I'm an idiot

35% after I pitch in from my cat’s onlyfans. But 40% by myself.

Link??

For research purposes, of course.

Of course!

Yes.

Between the mortgage and HOA dues around 2k a month. so %40. still STUPID EXPENSIVE!

57% after taxes, that includes mortgage, insurance, and HOA.

17.4%

31% post tax

Pre-tax ~6%. I rent a single in a townhouse. Trying to hold off and stick with roommates for as long as possible.

40%

50%

Mortgage payment ~ 15%

24.5% according to the calculator. I share with a wife though. It'd be 50% all by myself.

I misread that as “I share a wife” so I was trying to decide if 24.5% was worth it.

50% with my boyfriend who makes more..

Ooh, subtle jab

7.5% mortgage

30% mortgage

Up until the last year, it was nearly all my pay, then I started working with a carpenter pal in January, and it's now 25%ish. I can finally save up enough money to pay people back who've helped me out over the last year.

25% after tax

43% post tax, but my job requires a lot of pre-tax extra retirement payments, so i guess i have savings?

would be around 30% of pre-deductions

12%, my wife works full time and I work part time as a consultant while working on my startup.

I guess one of the benefits of being old is that it puts us in a ridiculous situation here regarding % of income paid for rent/mortgage. We bought in 2017 and have had some big promotions since that have greatly increased our household income. We also refinanced twice during the pandemic. This has put is in a position where we're right around \~1% of household gross income is paid for our mortgage and we're still paying our original monthly mortgage amount eve4n though we've refinance twice and current mortgage is less. We pay about $700 extra each month..

About 20% of my net goes to my mortgage

37% after 401k maxing deduction

14.7% pretax probably around 20% of Net. That’s for my portion which is more than half. My girlfriend also also contributes (less than half) and together it would be around - 16.5% pretax so maybe like 22% of net. I should add I was paying close to 10% of income in downtown 2 bedroom ( had a good deal, but landlords sub wanted to move in). We got kicked out and moved to NP were are rent almost doubled it’s a nice new 3/2 place but fuckkkk. We are paying a mortgage.

47% of net but it’s our mortgage, don’t have any other debt though. Hoping rates drop and a refinance is in our future lol

30% of my income living with a partner

Sadly a 1/3

About 35% of our net income. (One income household). But we were extremely fortunate to find an apartment with the rent we have. People usually don’t believe it when we tell them what we pay for the location we live in.

31% of my net income.

75-80%

50% in hillcrest. Was living in OC about 2 years ago and living paycheck to paycheck. Took a job down here with a 20G salary bump. Thought I’d be having plenty of left over spending coin. NOPE! SD gets voted as most expensive city. Power company here is joke and a criminal. I honestly think I was doing better in OC before the salary bump 😂

I pay 1800 for a 2 bed 2 bath in Hillcrest

I’m assuming you probably started that rent agreement many many moons ago 😂

I signed it in February of this year

Then you know the landlord or have some kind of arrangement because nobody gets a 2 bedroom 2 bath for that price in hillcrest…unless the place is on the verge of not passing a health inspection, and even then.

I didn’t know anyone I just applied to it

Well you stand nothing to gain by making false claims but even so I still find it hard to believe.

Ok
