Consider housing as part of you base salary, you can do whatever you want with it. Only time housing is important is when you’re calculating your bonus/raise. If your bonus/raise is based on your base salary, then housing isn’t factored in the calculation.

At SAP my annual housing and car allowances are paid on a prorated basis each month, along with my basic salary. That appears to be the norm for the region. So consider those allowances part of your regular monthly salary.

But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.
