🏠 House Afford/Glossary

House Poor

House poor describes a homeowner who spends such a large share of income on housing that they cannot afford other essentials or savings goals. Typically triggered by buying at or above the maximum DTI a lender approves. Symptoms include no emergency fund, inability to save for retirement, reliance on credit cards for basic expenses, and deferred maintenance. Avoided by targeting 28% front-end DTI or below, not the 45%+ lender ceiling.
