How much do you make? What is your house worth?

[cheapbastard]

This may be a bit cheeky, because I know how taboo it is to talk about your finances with others. Some people think it is rude to ask, "how much do you make?' or "How much did you pay for your house?" I got this idea when I was reading the thread comparing the prices of 1975 with today. I was curious how I compare with others in the world.
If you are interested in responding please answer these questions:

Re: How much do you make? What is your house worth?

I just did some quick math and worked out the average for the 9 people that gave their information.
<b>Salary: $48,160</b>
<b>House Value: $158,000</b>(excluding the people that rent)

When I began this thread I thought that my wages and the value of our house might be below average. I am surprised to see that my wages and the house value is above average.

Re: How much do you make? What is your house worth?

I am suprised about the home values on here where I am in IA the nicest house maybe worth 200,000 thiers not many that come even close to that in price but housing is not going up very much around here at all. I guess we are lucky though. I cant imagine paying more than what we did for a house.
