@herretirementor: Check out this chart that shows your max rent or mortgage by your salary amount. This allows you to not live beyond your means as it relates to your housing. And gives you an opportunity to still live and save for your future retirement. #mortgage #rent #retirement #costofliving #housingcosts #housing #livinginboston #renters #rentalcosts
I make 84k a year and my mortgage is 700. I suck at saving money

My ex threatened me. Married 20 yrs, SAHM, 4 kids, 1.1M house. Couldn’t move out because I didn’t have a paycheck showing 3x rent. No domestic violence shelters because I had savings, couldn’t get a mortgage because no job. Slept in my car and cheap hotels w/o my kids.

But, the math is not correct and that’s where people get in troubles if your salary is 40k, you actual salary after taxes, social security, & healthcare would be 27k. And people, have to realize this asap. Therefore, 40k is poverty level in any state!

It's not just Boston I was born and raised in Quincy just outside Boston. Those prices are bleeding out into the surrounding area. I moved to Louisiana and life got a lot easier.

I know this is a chart but where in this country in ANY city would you find even a 1 bedroom for 800 a month?

avg 1 bedroom apartment where I live costs 2k/month. Imagine having to make 100k to live in a 800 sq ft apartment. The American Dream is dead.

Crazy that someone can make $150k per year and have zero possibility of paying a mortgage in MA.

Numbers feel off since we also have utilities. Rent doesn't include that and for my studio can run between $200-800 a month in NYC depending on how bad ConEd wants to gouge us for use. Then we have to afford food, commuting expenses, insurance, cell phone, internet at bare minimum

Younger teachers here make $46k-55k. A single teacher can't afford an apartment. What are we doing?! Landlords getting richer, working class getting poorer.
