Q: How do I know when my mortgage is out of balance with my budget?
A: It doesn’t take much for your mortgage to exceed what your budget can conceivably handle. And it can happen quickly. An expensive car repair, an unexpected hospital visit, a missed week of work – just a few little things and the life you’ve worked so hard to build and it suddenly feels like the finances are tipping dangerously out of balance.
Once the scales turn against you, it becomes impossible to ever tip them back in your favor anytime in the near future — that’s how you know you can’t afford your mortgage.
Meaning:
1.) The cash reserves aren’t there to absorb the cost of the setback (medical bills, car repair, 6 months of unemployment);
2.) You take home less than what you spend and it will not be possible to shore that up in the next twelve months.
When your financial problems reach the point where they threaten your home, it is difficult to manage the stress. Sometimes it is even difficult to force yourself to seek help.
