Mortgage Poll Results

Here are the results to the How big is your mortgage?

None because I rent 19%
None because it is paid off! 6%
under 50,000 3%
50,000-100,000 9%
100,000-150,000 25%
150,000-200,000 19%
200,000-250,000 3%
250,000-300,000 3%
over 300,000 13%

There was not an overwhelming answer for my frugal (or wanna be frugal readers). I couldn't imagine having a 300,000 mortgage.

I like the philosophy that your mortgage payment shouldn't be more than 25% of your monthly net income. We try to stay within those guidelines now but were more like 32% when we first got our mortgage.
