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

    I still live my parents at early 30s man. I refuse to rent cause of how bullshit it is. I was finally in a position to looking into actually being able to buy a place right before covid hit. Now I'm just waiting for the whole god damn market to crash cause housing prices are almost as fucked as rent is now. Fuck I hate this shit hole country.

      It's so fucking ridiculous, and I can't even put it into words. I have no idea how there hasn't been a mass uprising against landlords, and i am starting to think I'll never see it
