>"you should only spend 30% of your net income on rent"
>30% of net income is only $420
>there is no such thing as a studio apartment for $420
Is it legitimate advice or just something retarded normies say? A safe apartment where I won't get robbed or assaulted starts at about $700 a month, which is approximately half of my net income.

Not even with 3 roommates can you find a place to live for that price here.
It's total fucking bullshit.
uh get a higher net income?
>>36036627
how?
bloxxgadh

>go down to the job factory and get a better one
I hate when people say this stupid shit.
>>36036590
Your income is suppose to be higher. If you want to save money then you need to make more. These things are written for people making about 50k+ a year.
420 is higher than my average biweekly check, anon
we failures have to be parasitical or packed into a room like chinese sardines to afford existence
>>36036667
How many people making 50k or more need to live in a studio apartment? Any place outside of New York or Chicago?
this doesn't make any sense

I don't know who taught you that but in my highschool we were taught "up to 60%" of your income will realistically go towards living expenses.
I think I took that class back in 2009 or something.
Just keep paying rent and don't think too hard, goyim! Mr. Shekelstein needs you bright eyed and bushy tailed at work in the morning! Oy vey it's a wonderful day!

the thing is, I don't have a choice
my brother wants his black boyfriend to move into his house, and he won't do it if I live here. So my brother is kicking me out, and I was already paying him $325 a month in rent for a bedroom slightly larger than the average closet.
I have to move out now and I have nobody I can live with. I only make $13/hr and it's hard to budget basic living expenses without factoring in things like a college education to improve my living situation.

The best and worst housing investments are apartments near college campuses

>"you should only spend 30% of your net income on rent"
>Just, like, earn more money bro
>>36036840
Living expenses includes food, water and electricity retard.

and transportation which costs me a retarded amount of money right now
I have money for gas to drive a 20 miles each direction commute but if my car craps out I am just fucked.
I wish it wasn't so expensive to live alone. I know getting roommates would be better, but I can't even make friends so I can only imagine how shitty it would be to try to live with a bunch of people that don't like me.

even with a full time job at min wage my rent would be about 43% of my income. with all the bills included, its about 68% of income.
Move to Tallahassee?
