Not only does owning a home
give you a haven for yourself and your family, it makes great

assumes a 28 percent income tax bracket. If your bracket is higher,
your savings will be, too.
Rent:
_________________________
Multiplier: X 1.32
Mortgage payment:

Because of tax deductions,
you can make a mortgage payment—including taxes and insurance—that
is approximately one-third larger than your current rent payment and
end up with the same amount of "left-over" income.
