I have seen similar threads but they all tend to either mention a specific amount for the mortgage (which doesn’t take into account income) or a % (which is hard to understand or compare if you don’t know the age of the person posting).
Therefore, can I ask what % of your income was your mortgage when you were either mid 30’s or when you had young (pre school/ primary) children?
We fall into both categories and currently pay 14% but will soon move and go up to 30%. It feels like a big jump so am a bit nervous, even though we have done the maths many many times and know it will be fine.
