I do realize this, but going by the 30% rule on 100k a year is still $2,500 a month on rent. It should be possible find a place on your own for that much. I will also say that for myself, I am below that 30% marker for what I pay and make. Even with the $500 increase I have mentioned. So either that 30% recommendation is broken, or something else is (I mean we all know that housing market is broken so no reason to dance around it). So yes I do realize that inflation matters, but 100k is still a lot of money. There are entire families that live on less than that. And yet, the idea that I make well over that and want to live on my own is entitled? And yes I do also acknowledge I live in a city, but I also don't have the expense of a car (monthly payment and insurance) or the gas to run it. This is very broken. Yes my $1,500 a month towards medical loans is not helping my situation, but that is also why I am below 30% for rent.
