I personally like how it is from the boomer generation that the 1/3 rule comes from as well. Keep in mind that is 1/3 for ALL housing expenses (water, heat, electricity,insurance, etc.), The US median is $1085 a week. This means all in a median Joe/Joette should find a place for under $1500 ALL IN in order to meet this rule.
Always remember that paying rent is a never ending cost while pay mortgage is limited. If you rent, you rent when you are retired. If you can buy, you don't pay for your house anymore when you are retired. In other words, not buying a house/Appartment means that you will have less money in your retirement... Up to 2/3 of your current salary.
I doubt anyone stuck renting their entire life are able to retire properly.
