Save for house per month?

Question

How much do you save for a house per month?

Answer 1

Save the largest amount that you can easily manage on your specific income. It is all completely individual, and depends on your salary and what bills or financial obligations you already have.

Work out a budget and see what you can do! Good luck.

Answer 2

Depending on location.

Here in San Diego, Average is $1800 for us. (On base housing BAH).

Moving to Oklahoma next week with our new house. Morgage is average of $1,300. Then factor in utilities etc (which we don't know exactly yet) but roughly about $1,500 cuz we don't use a lot or home but at night and weekends.

Answer 3

I don't because we have paid off our house.

But I once read a book called THE MONEY TREE, that said that you should classify 10% of your income as a "bill to savings" that MUST be paid just like any other bill.

This may not be possible, but in theory it seemed to me like a good idea.
