I got a new job and finally getting ready to move out of my parents' house, but my god rent is comically expensive where I'm at (like everywhere else). There aren't many places to look for roommates outside of craigslist (which I'm trying to avoid). It's looking like I might have to spend close to 40% of my paycheck to afford a 500 sq foot studio

They say you throw away communism when you get your first salaried job, but I think it's making me a third world maoist. Fuck all landlords

    ~35%, but that's with a big discount for living in company housing. If I was renting "market rate" it'd be closer to 60%.
