however im pretty fucking sure thats accounting for social housing, which has a 17 year waiting list.
I pay 2k tuition a year without going to college so i can live in a 500 a month dorm, because I can't live in a house otherwise.

It depends on where you live, just look at the statistics and it should tell you where you stand. Basically outside of major metro areas that is good, its average in normal metros and below average in broken places like San Francisco.
