Median income of 19.000$?

Per family?

>>35286390
>median income of $19,625

lmao

>>35286515
It's just saying that rent is too high for how much people get paid. It's not supposed to be half your pay check but often is.

>>35286530
>>35286544
Its 80% for me

>>35286530
This lol

Why do people bother working? I get almost as much a year in NEETbux.

I live in a decent 3 bedroom with roommates and pay $300/month utilities and internet included. Feels p. good

>>35286544
That's so vague. Rent isn't set in stone, faggots. It depends on where you live.

If you pay 50% or more of your paycheck on rent, that means that you're either working a part-time job or that you're fucking incompetent with money.

You can's just say "average rents" and get done with it lmao

Protip: the rent prices differ somewhat significantly from San Francisco to the middle of the Arizona desert

studios here are minimum 1500

My first apartment was a two bedroom for $500/mo and was pretty big.

Now I'm paying $390/mo on a 15 year mortgage because the midwest is cheap as shit

Yall should read some Thoreau

Protip: you don't need a house

>>35286390
Long Island bot here, you would have to be blessed to find a one bedroom apartment for less than $1000 a month

>>35286811
Yeah I really miss living alone but it beats being a hobo.

>>35286390
>family median income of 19,625
...what...

that's making less than 10 dollars an hour

why would a "family" ever have that as their median income. this statistic is framed to look more harsh than it is. No family should ever be supported on a entry level job. At that income you should be splitting rent 50/50 with someone in a 2 bedroom. the high end is 1000 so that's 500 dollars. that's just about exactly 30% income for someone at the median income of 19.625.

Where do you live and what's the price range there?

I live in Indianapolis and a studio is 500-1200 bucks a month. 500 in the ghetto, 1200 in a rich enclave or downtown.

I make about 25k per year gross

>>35286390
>family
>$19,625
>renting house

That's pretty fuckin dumb. Renting is alright if you're single (which robots are), or if you live with one or two other people.
I plan on purchasing my own tiny house somewhere in a forest or at least away from any city. I'll make it comfy and it'll be all for me. I'll only have to pay rent for a set number of years, but the property will be mine to own. Heck, maybe when I die I'll pass it onto someone from the next generation of robots.

>Family
>$19k a year
Nigger what.
$19k a year is what somebody making $9.13/hr working full time would make.
Even two people working minimum wage earn more than $19k a year.

>>35286544
It's not. But dipshits think its so cool to live in the city while working at a coffee shop so they have to share a 2br apartment with 5 other people.

>>35286390
What third-world shithole do you live in where the median family income is only $19,625/year?

In the US it's $55,755, which gives about $1400/month for rent at 30%. Enough for a 2-3 bedroom apartment, or a modest house.

>>35286811
>the economy sucks so bad you need 3 roommates to survive comfortably
No you don't.
You just don't want to actually live within your means.

I used to pay $500/mo while I was only making $750/mo.
I didn't have fast internet, i had a prepaid dumbphone, I ate rice, beans, cooked every meal, and would only sometimes go to Denny's for a coffee and some fries. That was my "treat".
I lived perfectly fine off $250/mo for every expense I had.

But no, idiots want their iphones and big data plans and fast internet and new computers and gotta buy the xbox games and order pizza.
The economy has recovered and then some since the recession in 2008, but our generation is too fucking stupid to figure that out and they just complain about being poor while working unskilled jobs.

>>35286721
Or you work a shitty job in a high cost of living area and you need to move.

>30%
why would it be this low? they could spend up to 60% and still have enough for other bills

>how are we supposed to make it
move to a cheaper area or actually get some skills so you dont get paid garbage

>>35287393
>>i only made 750 and paid 500 rent
You're so full of shit. You wouldn't have any internet at ALL.
>cheapest internet is 50 per month
>200 left
>50 dolalr water
>150 left
>50 dollar hygenics
>100 left
>25 socks and other stupid small things
>75 left
>implying that's enough for electric bill
>enough for transport
>enough to save up and pay for 200 dollar tooth extraction emergencies or similar emergencies
Electric is like 300 on average for people. If you're careful it's still over 100 if you live somewhere where you need ac.

>>35286761
>because the midwest is cheap as shit
cheap as shit, apart from any city where you'd want to live.

so no chicago area obviously, no mpls/st paul, no milwaukee/madison, etc etc. hope you are enjoying nebraska or iowa friendo.

>tfw no qt bf to live in a one bedroom studio apartment with for ~$600 a month
We'd have a semi-NEET life working odd jobs to make a combined $1,000 a month, which is just enough to survive. We'd live frugally and spend most of our time relaxing together, half the time in comfy silence.

>>35287945
>tfw its always some faggot that posts something like this

>>35287885
Cleaning self and house. Bleach. Soaps. Toothpaste. Mop. Towel. Bandages. Toothpics. Dental floss. Mouth washes. Sponges on a stick. Razors. Hair stuff. Rubbing alcohol. Paper towels. Blue stuff for the toilet tank. Stuff like that. 50 should cover it.

>>35287984
my dream would be more realistic if I was a faggot
guys always want kids and you can't raise a kid without getting a full time job.

>>35288045
How is that a monthly expense? 90% of those things last over a few months.. It's more like $20 a month if anything.

>>35287945
>half the time annoyed at each other as we slowly realize that we hate everything about each other

>>35288069
that's why we don't talk half the time, so we can browse the internet or read when we don't feel like talking

He'd have to be easygoing, cheap and introverted

>>35288045
I don't think that would be anywhere near $50

The mops and stuff like that do last, but my point was no more than 50. It doesn't matter though because elctric bill and transport destroy your anus even if you nuke the whole hygenics part.

lmao wtf you getting scammed

>>35286390
seems really weird
I pay 900 a month for my studio and it's still only 20% of my pre-tax income

>>35286390
In my country average person makes 6.000 euros a year, rent is like 700 a month, so you get 3 generations living in the same house all at the same time.

10% of the population lives in social housing.

I didn't even mention deoderant and other things like lotion people don't even think about. The fee is around 50 all together. I was just guesstimating.

fucking amateur.
I have 20 bulk bags of toilet paper in my room.

>>35288314
And what when the termites get to them or similar. What if they get wet? I live in Florida.

A studio where I live is 1.1-1.5k for just 5000 square feet.

I can't move out even if I wanted to.

>>35286390
Where the fuck are those numbers from? I make around $35k/year and the cheapest rent in my area is $900/month for a studio
