the cost of living

[topaz]

As I fill out mortgage applications for moving in to Mosaic Commons I can't help but do the math and see that the cost of our mortgage, condo fees, and property taxes adds up to about 40% of my net take-home pay, without even taking heating costs into account. This seems really high to me but maybe I don't have much to compare it to.

Oops. I calculated off of gross income, not net. So it's probably more like 25-30% of net.
