Re: How much is too much for CLs?

At various times, there have been threads on CL/Income ratios.   It is all over the map, ranging from say 0.1 -5 or more.   And of course these aren't the maximums, just what people (report that they) have.

I wouldn't say you are too high. I have definitely seen higher ratios of CL's to income.
