Just wondering how we stack up compared to other forums

Here’s the same question on lemmy.ml: https://midwest.social/post/17238

mortgage payment is 24%, but I throw 34% with the “extra” going to principle.

I can get away with this extra payment because of the student loan pause. it’s my first year of owning my first home, a fixer upper in a LCOLA.
