How much can one afford to pay

face this question. Most people
know what they would like in the
way Of a home. and know that they
could make payments at least equal
90 the rent they are now paying,
but when they look over houses. or
plans of houses. they find. some
that coKt too much and others are
too small sor too shabby to con.
sider.
The real problem lies in getting
. satisfactory home. one that will
not absorb too much of the fanily's
income nor yet be below its gem

wisely ask himself:

be next year and the year after?
2. II business siackens. is he like

Buying or building home re-
quires the use of sound judgment
IN seeing that the personal needs
Of the family are best met with
the funds available. It involves
not only the carrying on of trans
actions Of financing and buying

5. How much of the income is
being saved.
6. How much could the family
afford to pay out each year in pay
Ing for house, and for the ex-
penses that go with 1t?
Cost Considered
It is q mistake to buy beyond
ones ability to pay. for that usu-
ally results in the loss of the home
or in most discouraging struggle.
The purchase should be safe; thus.
If a family cannot pay $500 for
e house. a 5000 house may be
within its means.
The amount that can be paid for
q house depends partly on what in.
terest rates are charged for the
money borrowed to make the pur-
chase and the rate at which the
principal is to be paid off. These
fixed payments must be met reg
ularly, and they must be met from
the family's income.
IT Is, therefore. always best to
leave some margin OF safety. to
provide for illness or other emer-
gency. While one may be too
optimistic when an attractive house
is in view, and count on increased
income that he may never receive.
nearly every family can and should
cut down other expenses when the
savings are to be invested In a
home.
Many Factors
II a certain family pays sixth
Of its income for rent, it may be
able to devote one-fourth or more
to buying and maintaining house,
for the amount thus used may in
clude both rent and savings.
Rent, or payments on a home,
may require anywhere from ona-
eighth to one-third of the family In
come, depending on the special cir
in each case. In addi-
ton to interest payments and in
staIlments or the principal of q
loan, allowance must be made Tor
and repairs. taxes, special
assessments, insurance, water tax
and various accessories and improve
ments.
Families accustomed to living in
sometimes fail to allow

poses.
