Same for GenX. We all had roommates or lived with SOs.
I rented a 3-bedroom apartment in the early 2010s for $1250 with some friends. I just checked and similar apartments in that neighborhood are $2500-3900 now
I agree that renting alone wasn't an option for our generations but it's become even worse. Pay has not kept up with housing costs at all
[Edit] I just checked and $1250 in 2010 has the same value has $1,775.54 now
Man one my first apartments in 2001 was 360 a month for one bedroom. This was in a small town Texas.
Today same rent is 1300 plus. That fucking nuts and doest jive with inflation.
$360 in 2001 is $632.80...
Yeah exactly. I paid way to much compared to what I made I later moved to a cheaper place. I made 6.76 an hour and had my own place. Today minimum wage is 7.25 and rent is over 1000.
Our country is fucked.
I think they need to have roommates in the bedrooms now. I saw a basement apartment in Englewood, CO for $1650 this week. Garage extra.
