1 bedroom apartments are going for $1,400 where I live which would be just over 33% of this (35%) so this would be the bottom end for folks… even renting 35% is starting to stretch things. By the time I’m done with utilities (phone, internet, water, gas, and electric) I’m at 21,380, or 43% of pretax wages without counting in food/other bills.
