I guess i'm bucking the trend. When I bought this large, 100-year-old house my ratio was .91. Now, after years of renovations, I'm up to 2.1. Still not quite on the scale.

This is a comfortable old place in a small, rural TN town with some great neighbors. Because I didn't go for a McMansion (actually, this old place was described as a "mansion" by the appraiser when I bought it), if I lost my job tomorrow I would still wake up the next morning with a smile.

Is your address "1313 Mockingbird Lane," by any chance?
