44% of mine goes to Mortgage.
After 1 full year of living in my own place, 52.6% of after tax income goes to home owndership related costs.
Mortgage, condo fees, property tax, 2 maid services/year (no point in owning if you dont have pride in where you live).
You could very likely add Weber BBQ, barstools and table as well as some other items which would bump those up which I would have never purchased if I rented, but those arent technically home ownershp costs so they werent included.
