I'm not talking about the percentage to put down (assume that's fixed at 20%). I mean what % of your net wealth did that 20% downpayment represent? In the example above, if your net worth is $400,000 and you put a downpayment down of $200,000, the downpayment is 50% of your total net worth.

Ask HN: What % of your net wealth did you put into your downpayment?

I've heard different things from different sources, but I'm curious to hear from the HN crowd what percentage of your net worth did you put into purchasing your primary residence? For example, assume you're purchasing a place for $1,000,000 and financing 80% of that. What percentage of your total net worth should the $200,000 downpayment be?

Lately just about every single Bloomberg article I've tried to read has been behind a paywall. Any way around it?

Does + 2 percent really = a surge?

Off topic, but is anyone else having trouble loading and reading the article? I tried 3 times and the website is utterly unusable. Keeps sending me to the bottom of the page.

Re:Chase had ads on 400k sites, then on just 5k, with same results on Thursday March 30, 2017 @10:45AM (#13995783)

> I mean, what 400,000 sites do you think Chase was advertising on? Ones that really have to do with banking? Or just ones that, by some idiotic metric, have a keyword that ".equals('banking')"?

The reason a Chase ad ends up on 400K sites is not because all of those sites are contextually relevant, it's because of retargeting. A user goes to chase.com, gets pixeled, and then shown retargeting ads on what ever websites they happen to visit that are hooked up to the exchanges. This could be either a good or bad thing.
