The first 38K of my pre-tax income goes to renting a 500 sq ft efficiency. The change in the last 20 years is astonishing. I remember in high school, being exhorted to put aside at least $300/month for rent.

fuck me where do you live that it's $3200/mo for 500 sq ft?? San Francisco?

2600 - 1/2 hour outside of DC.

500 sq feet???

I am 40 min from DC and pay 2k for 750sqft.

I thought I was getting robbed, are your counters made of marble and faucets made from gold??

Something isn't adding up

What's keeping you in the DC loop?
