"Do you commute into NYC, or work locally?\r\n\r\nLots of people buy more house than they can afford, because it's where they work, and they don't fancy hours of commute. Where I live, a 100k house would either A) be in a very, very bad neighborhood, or B) be a two hour commute into the city. Neither of those options are particularly appealing.\r\n\r\nAnd many people rent, which can be even more expensive in the long run. I was advised when I was looking for apartments that 1/4 of my paycheck was the bare minimum I should expect to pay. (It ended up being closer to 1/2, because that's the rental market where I live.)"
