Overlap formulae used

1. "House poor" is a situation that describes a person who "over-extends" themselves and spends an unusually large proportion of his or her

total income (roughly 30-40% or more) on home ownership, including mortgage payments, property taxes, maintenance and utilities. It is said if

you can't spend your income the way you want to, because so much of it is going to housing expenses, you're house poor. Based on the

REGION

I have been house poor, but am no longer in that state

I consider myself to be house poor now

I would be prepared to be house poor in future if it meant I

could purchase a home (i.e. a different home or 2nd home)

I would not put myself in the position of being house poor
