What’s your current rent payment? Is this monthly similar to what you’ve paid before?
If you’re unsure, run through your finances, what do you get deposited in your bank account (post tax, 401k, HSA, etc.). Then go through what you’re spending vs saving, can you make it work with $4k less for the foreseeable future, will it force you to change your spend patters (say dining or entertainment or travel)? If so, are you willing to commit to that?
With that income you should have no problem making that payment
You seemed to be well positioned for purchasing the house.
The only charge I would suggest would be increasing the down payment to 20% to avoid PMI. $43 over 30 years is $50k
If you are well disciplined, then let your property tax payments accrue in a HYSA to net an extra $400 per year.
also, 43x12x30=15,480. so i’m not sure how you get to 50k. plz fix
If I can live comfortably with a $2,900 mortgage payment on half your income I think you should be more than fine
This post is deeply annoying.
HHI is not all that useful. Need to know your take home pay and your current household expenses. But in general, without the all the details, if you are making $300k, you can afford a $500k house without being house poor.
Bruh I’m at about $2k per month on an income of $120k
