Depends how big the home is.

Depends how big the home is.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoRelative to your income. My home was about $120k. It’s easily affordable on a tech industry salary. The median household income in my county is under $30k...
- hndamien 8y agoAhh, so you mean the debt owns you, not the house per se.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoIs this just a general comment about mortgages? As it stands, my mortgage is significantly less than most people's as a proportion of my income.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoI'm not jacob019, who originally made the comment, but as I understand it, the point was not the debt. The point was the maintenance. When the basement floods, it's my problem, not the landlords. When the attic fan fails (I was surprised that attics had fans), it's my problem. When the driveway concrete starts to buckle, it's my problem. In that sense, the house owns you, not the other way around.
