    Depends where and how you live. My rent is $800 a month, but some mortgages are thousands of dollars.

          You pay $500 less than the average American for rent. I think you may be lacking the perspective necessary to engage productively with this topic.

            My rent is $500 less than whatever metric you’re using, but our local ecconomy is also lowers than yours.

            Average wage here is 10/hr for a factory job. I’ve heard some places like Seattle make $20/hr just working at starbucks.

            And keep in mind my rent is basically 1 room.

      Again, the “how you live” thing again, in your opinion, what is the “correct” way to live?
