Might want to tweak those numbers a bit.... Start by taking the 80 and turning it into 50 after taxes. Then, add taxes and insurance to your mortgage and its almost 3X as much. (AND, I don't disagree with the point you were making.)

"before taxes" is a fantasy world that no one lives in.

... so you deduct taxes from that and it becomes after taxes

I've been looking at real estate in AK for reasons and I was like... shit, I could buy a house here. Me, a person who thought she'd only ever own real estate in her 60s by inheriting.

It's piss contest. It doesn't matter as much what you can afford as that you have a higher number in your tax report (which is then taxed at a higher bracket lol).

When I worked at NASA there were many, many civil servants on the low-end of the Federal General Schedule of Wages that had a higher material quality of life than senior directors at Google. Fly over country rocks.

When I would visit our Bay Area facilities, I would leave a small midwestern town real estate brochure in the lunch room. They’d nearly weep.

What about racist people? You forgot that in your equation. I’d rather not get shot for being brown by some maga supporter.
