What "standard multiple" did you use when buying a house?

I DIDN’T USE 1.3 AS A FACTOR! I AM AMERICAN. I FOUND THE HOUSE I WANTED THAT WAS NEAR WHAT I THOUGHT I COULD AFFORD AND FOUND A WAY TO JUSTIFY SPENDING MORE THAN I PLANNED ON. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT IT WORKED OUT TO 1.3 TIMES DOUBLE MY INCOME.

I was going to call BS until I saw this. This makes much more sense.
