- Shame on you why on earth are you paying 55% of you net salary as rent?? this is being reckless.

- with a net of 70k forget about acquiring a house in Westlands or parkland ( we dont have a place called 'Parkaland' in Nairobi). Get a better job first.

- Rent a cheaper house immediately and start saving through Housing Finance.

You are paying WAY TOO MUCH RENT for your level of salary. You should be paying half or less of what you currently do. Move to a house that costs less than 20K a month. Save the 19K for several years to enable you have a downpayment for a place of your own someday.

39K per month!!

Take a mortgage if possible instead of enriching your landlord/lady

Your rent is way too high Shame on you Shame on you . I assume you also have a car. Assuming you other expenses are equally high, how do you manage with 41k?

If you must life in a house in westie/parkland paying 39k rent and are single, get a friend who you can share the house and split the rent.

I share same feelings. You are paying much on rent.

Financial analysts.
On average and under ideal circumnstances:
What is the percentage of income that is supposed to cater for rent?

I know for a fact that 39k for a 70k net is waaay to much.You should be paying something like 19k at the very most.
All the same, I would like to hear solutions offered by Wazua members on helping Sonu own his own home/house.
Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

most kenyans live above their means. you need not pay more than 20K rent. This will let you save for a plot somewhere.

Rent + Electricity + Water should be 25% of net salary or less. But this is a very general rule.
