If 30% of your monthly income is supposed to be for rent, and most places in America are asking for $1,800 a month, then you need to be making $37.50/hour or $75,000/year gross. Since this is a /biz thread we know that taxes take around 25% or more; so one would need to make 100k per year to make 75k net. At the present rate of inflation of 6.5%, your net income of 75,000 would need to be increased to $85,284.38....
In short you're fucked if you make less than 75k..net

I share a studio with 2 other guys for 1550 a month plus utilities. Could be worse I guess I could live in a major city that would cost way more. At least this is the only way I can afford rent and only have to work 45 hours a week to survive.

Is 30% even an achievable goal in today's era? I always figured it was 50% given how everything is priced.

>when boomers were young, renting a 1 room apartment in a shitty area was easy and low rent actually meant low rent
>rent was only 1/9th of income on average, meaning 'cheap' rooms could actually be as little as 1/20th
>on an income of 10k in 1973 you could have conceivably lived in someone's rapeshed for only 500/mo and kept the rest

[Anonymous No.53670893]

>>53670851
don't worry, some leaded gasoline brain damaged boomer will say something about modern apartments having more amenities like a 7 year old, $500 dish washer, which justifies why you're paying 160% more for rent every month.

I guess I can always pay just 1000 a month to live in someone's spare room like they're my dad except I'm an adult man and they're a stranger renting out their kid's room after they moved out because they either fell for the rent meme or have parents who actually gave them a little money after graduating instead of totally fucking them.

Meant 500/year which would be like 42 bucks a month kek.

[Anonymous No.53671066]

>>53671045
okay i can see that being realistic. i think chicago is an exception, and even within the city things seem reasonably priced. i live in the philly region and it's $300k for a starter house in a non nigger neighborhood within 1 hour of the city. maybe $250k if you can accept some niggers, or deal with living in one half of a twin house.
