I know how much you pay in rent depends on your income and status but no matter how much you earn there's just a figure you'll feel pain parting with to enrich someone else. What's that figure for you?

If rent falls anywhere near a mortgage figure, I'd rather take mortgage.

12k. Around 6.5% of my current gross. Why so mean? To cover the 3-4 months i will be contractless.
