Just curious about people paying monthly rent, not jeonse. And if your apartment is paid for by your school just figure that rent as part of your total income cuz you earned it anyways.

I'm just curious about people in Korea.

I own my own house in the US, and will arrive in Korea on July 31, 2008. I do not know the value of my rental. US guidelines if you want to get a loan to purchase a house is generally that your housing should not cost more than 30% of your total income.

it's not uncommon for NYC'ers to pay ~%50 of their income on housing

In Canada, about 80% of my paycheque.

In Korea, 0% of my paycheque (and my paycheque in Korea would still be double than Canada's if I had my old apartment's rent taken out of it).
