[Dylan Northrup]

Don't forget the 10% you're supposed to be putting away for
savings/retirement.

:=Consider the recommendations, of learned financial planners, that tell you

:=nor a house payment more than 40% of your *expected* monthly income.  Note:
:=*expected* is what you are worth, not what you are paid.
:=At that pace a 10% cut in salary should mean less barbecues, not brutality.

:=It means a more restrained lifestyle, however the choice is yours and no one
