it costs me $78/day to live in my house

[Svnla]

How the heck some of you guys are only paying $20/day or less or about $600/month. Unless you are with roomate(s) or live in BFE, I don't see how is that possible.

 

[Dice144]

$20 a day for me but my GF pays for the heat/power.

Let's just say, OP, that my mortgage and escrow is paid off, every month, in 10 days, at your daily rate.

That pays my taxes and insurance for the year. ~$785/month.

 

[child of wonder]

35.5 hours of net pay is what it costs to live in my house every month.

 

[Specop 007]

$68/day.. and thats just rent.

Same :-\

 

[JulesMaximus]

Mine is about $56/day.

 

[zCypher]

My rent comes to about $12.50 per day.

Another interesting stat would be to compare what your daily cost is to your hourly income.

For my household one hour of my wife and I's combined income pays for one day of living costs.

my wife's annual bonus is half her annual income... crazy NY financial industry. I haven't gotten that bonus amount in 11 years of work combined. Not sure what her net hourly pay really is considering that - bonus money is actually the government's bonus.

$46/day PITI + condo fees, hourly wage to daily cost = .99-to-1, hopefully will skew the other way starting this year.

 

[spacejamz]

$40.00/day for 9 yr old 1900 sq ft house in North Dallas suburb...only includes mortgage, property taxes and insurance...

 

[Meghan54]

Best we can figure---3 acres of land on Cape Cod w/1200 sq. ft. house, incl. property taxes, oil (heat, hot water), electric.....maybe $15/day.

 

[Zargon]

50 a day with mort/ins/taxes/power/water/trash/sewer

another 4.50 for tv/internet

yikes.

 

[LookBehindYou]

$33 a day for my house (am a homeowner, not renting)

How the heck some of you guys are only paying $20/day or less or about $600/month. Unless you are with roomate(s) or live in BFE, I don't see how is that possible.

My mortgage is $617 a month w/taxes, insurance and PMI on a 15 year note. I live in the county with the highest unemployment in the state 16%-17%, so not many people are buying = cheap prices. 1500 square foot house 3 bed 2 bath, fireplace, almost brand new Trane heat-pump. In the city limits but not "in town" but certainly not BFE. About three miles out of town. All it needed was interior paint. In this market the deals are out there, you just have to find them.

 

[Rhoxed]

about $60 a day

 

[SLU Aequitas]

We own our 1600sqft 1880 Victorian condo in MA; it comes out to about $15/day including property taxes, water, sewer, master insurance, property insurance. Splitting that with my wife brings it down to $7.50/day.

 

[minendo]

~$51.70 per day. That is for two houses.

 

[stevty2889]

~$33 per day, including utilities, renting

 

[Rage187]

about $60 a day

Same; homeowner.

 

[blackangst1]

$40/day for mortgage, taxes, and ins.

Another interesting stat would be to compare what your daily cost is to your hourly income.

For my household one hour of my wife and I's combined income pays for one day of living costs.

One hour of time for either of us (net) covers the daily cost of mortgage, insurance, heat electric, Internet, cable, water.

I live in the ghetto, and even if I didn't have a roommate I'd still be paying a bit less than $20 a day. To me house is somewhere to sleep, so as long as I have a bed, I'm good.
