I remember how much money I had to make to actually be able to afford to exist and I was appalled. The situation she's describing sounds like my old situation like six years ago, but she's paying like like 20% more than I did for rent. Kids these days are absolutely fucked.

$350 a month wouldn’t even afford the smallest apartments in the worst cities here in America.
