    The 30% rule is based off AGI (adjusted gross income) which accounts for some taxes but I don’t remember which.

    That’s not to say you’re wrong, by any means. Our economy is literally failing. The average person cannot meet their basic needs to survive

      I have always heard that the 30% rule is based on your gross income with no account for taxes included.

      Ah agi makes more sense, since that’s before tax but after alimony and student loan interest payments.
