Housing costs
For most of us, Housing will be the largest cost we incur on a regular basis. As a guideline, if you’re spending more than 30% of your income on housing, you may need to reconsider your location, priorities and budget.

Buyers
Chances are, if you own, you’re paying down a mortgage. When was the last time you had a good look at your current deal? Check the state of the market, do a bit of research, and do some calculations to see if you could be getting a better deal or interest rate.

Renters
It should be a no-brainer, but when renewal time comes around, check the local rental market to make sure you’re getting a good deal.
If rising prices are threatening to force you out of the area, perhaps consider taking on a room-mate or attempting to negotiate a price freeze with your landlord.
