Just switched from a rent that is below 10% of my salary to a solid 20% one. I feel somehow bad, although the size is much better.

How much do you pay for housing compared to you salary, guys?

I don't want to be mean, but it's just a place. You should've gone with below %10.

I do not pay for housing btw.

@Rabbyte but it was just one room, and I live with my SO. If I were alone, I'd be fine.

@CodeNoir Oh, I think it's okay than. Congrats with your first(?) home-aloney house!

@Charon92 I feel better now, thanks. And sorry.

27%, and that's damn low around here as well :( If I move, I'd be paying over 40 in a jiff.

@Charon92 Well, it is a big improvement. 85 sq. m, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a living room. Plus two balconies, and a parking space. It's also near a big road with public transport, but not facing the road (so it's quiet).

It's pretty normal to pay around ⅓ of your salary on rent in the UK. More in London. If you have accomodation that you like for as little as 20% of your salary I'd say your on to a good deal.

About 30% here.

1/3 for rent, 1/3 for kid school , 1/3 for alcohol and 1/3 for food :)

My mortgage runs about 40% of my take home. Lucky lucky you.

@CodeNoir $432.56 per month

Nothing.
We own the house outright. 😊

1/3 of my salary goes to rent 😶

@Root I mean you got property taxes, but those are nickels really

@azous as I am trying to sell the house I moved from rn, I too am living on 4/3 of my income lol

I'm going to Start my First Job after I got my bachlors degree and I'm going to pay 50% of my income without the Internet and electricity I have to pay as Welle. But if you want to have a nice flat for two people it gets a Bit expensive.

It's about 25%, shared with my Life. A bit expensive but nice. For the same price we should buy our own instead of renting.
