Max I ever spent on renting was 25% of my net income, but usually it was more like 20%. Now I actually spend only 10% of my net income on my mortgage, thanks to inflation helping my income while keeping the mortgage static.
(Sure there are also taxes on top of the mortgage, but I’m also building equity. Taxes + interest is even less than 10%)
Younger generations are definitely getting screwed.
Older millenial here.
