Major Purchase Decision Journey
A house and a car are the two biggest purchases most households make, and deciding between them (or both, or neither) needs your REAL combined numbers, not a guess. This journey starts by adding up every income and monthly debt in your household into one total, then carries that total into a comparison of four options — House, Car, Both, or Neither — checking each one (and the combined Both payment specifically) against your household's actual debt-to-income capacity, so you find out up front if you can genuinely afford both at once rather than assuming two individually-affordable payments simply add up.

What Your Results Mean
Waiting for all steps to be completed before showing your full results summary.
Together, these results show what your household can genuinely take on: your combined household profile sets the real baseline income and debt figures, and the House vs. Car vs. Both vs. Neither comparison shows which of those options actually fits within your household's debt-to-income capacity — including the specific, easy-to-miss case where a house alone and a car alone are each affordable but taking on both at once isn't.
