I freelance so i can work 4 days in a month or 24... The good thing my rent is so damn cheap ($1000 - split in half with my gf, so $500/piece) that i can make my rent in less then a day's work.

ive read that you shouldn't be spending more that 33% of your monthly income on rent.

you calculate on your gross salary, not net. but if you are under 30% on net you are waaaay ahead.

are we talking just about mortgage?
what about taxes and monthly cc/maintenance?My mortgage is about 35%. But taxes and cc's make it almost 45%. Probably 50% next year.
- < too damned high, all housing costs should be <33% income (before income tax)monNom
