Ours is 18 percent, we bought it when I was SAH and I started my business sooner than planned. We have done some remodeling here and like having a smaller mortgage to free up more money for travel so we are staying. I do admit it's more modest than most of my friends' homes but I've mostly let that go.
Good for you for letting that go. I can relate to that completely. You just have to be and do by you. No sense in playing the "keeping up with the Joneses" thing.
thanks that's a very good point, we all have to get away from that game.
