Cheap apartments ARE out there, you just can't expect 3 bedrooms for your 5 dogs and 3 kids like many of the unreasonable people out there. I look on zillow every day out of boredom at work to see what's in the market. $16.25 would probably not be the easiest way to make it with today's prices but if you are frugal enough I would guess it could potentially be possible. Almost all landlords require proof of income that you make at least 3 times the monthly rent.

This is so ridiculous in today's world. We don't want to pay people decent money and then ask the world of them. It legit makes me want to cause violence.
Anyways. I'm probably looking for a new job next month. I'm not convinced where I am is worth staying. And on another note I'm fine with a 1 bedroom. I don't have pets and they're honestly like a child and cost money too. Not worth it for someone like me.

Just wait until you see the process for getting a home mortgage lol. You could show proof that you can effortlessly afford DOUBLE the monthly mortgage payment by what you afford in monthly rent and they will still say you can't afford it.

My response is and would be that they're on drugs. I'm not even joking.
