How did you calculate your debt to income ratio. I've googled it and it looks like you take your total entire debt (mortgage and car) and divide it by your annual gross income. But it seems disingenuous to compare something that typically lasts 25-30 years (ie mortgage) to an annual amount (annual salary).

Is there a better way to calculate this amount? If not, I got me some serious problems.
