My rent is about 17-20% of my gross income


I'm a gen-x'er (I'm 48) and I just recently moved to a new area and I decided to rent until the housing market looks a little better.

My rent is only 13% of my gross. This allows me to save what I need for retirement, enjoy a few nice vacations, eat out if we feel like it, etc.

I'll never understand the people who make decent money and still spend 40-50% on rent or mortgage payments...

Bought our house 20 years ago. It has doubled in price. Doesn't matter, plan on living there for a long time.

If we did sell, I would like to make it a rental property, but that also make the situation worse.

It adds to the inflated cost I guess.
