$3,000 a year is a weird number. Of course anything helps, but when rent is $1,000, $2,000, or even $3,000 / month, is that really make or break?
I wonder if it's paying security deposits or first / last deposits. When I was 23, paying rent seemed doable, but digging up 3 months of rent all at one go was terrifying.
- macawfish 10y agoIn many urban areas, rent is not $1000 a month, let alone $2000 or $3000. In smaller cities you can often find rooms for $250-$500, although that seems to be changing very quickly in my area. Jobs often pay less too.
- ars 10y ago> rent is $1,000, $2,000, or even $3,000 / month That's rent without roommates. I suspect people are sharing the rent with 3 other people, so $3,000 a month is about 1/3 of their rent.
- trjordan 10y agoAhhhh that's probably it. $300 / month is easily half the rent if you have a couple of roommates. ... which is exactly how I did it from 22-24, not sure how I forgot that.
