This is so sad. We built a 3000 sq ft home in 2012 for $290k and our interest rate is under 3%. We are never, ever moving.

Someone with genuinely sound math. YES! Your housing shouldn’t go over 25% of your after tax income if you can avoid that. We are renting and holding out because we just can’t afford buying a house in our area. It’s not what my wife wants but I would rather rent then be house poor and make bad financial decisions. Hope things change for the better in housing.

As someone who is JUST buying a house, this is a worst case scenario. Lenders have so many incentives to make buying a home affordable nowadays. A hilarious example is you can get your rate lowered by just taking a financial literacy class. You can also apply for a ton of state and federal benefits for down payments. I get this probably wasnt malicious, but it is financial fear mongering.
