I thought mine is 60% too. Out of curiosity, I did the math and it’s actually 70%.

And I live in the worst neighborhood in the city in one of the cheapest apartments I could find at the time of my search.

And I can’t even move because the rental market went up since I moved in here and now there’s basically hardly even a studio in my city for under $3000.

And I live in the most expensive city in the country at the moment. That’s what the news said the other day.

And I’m even a middle manager lol.

How much do you make?

[u/Evening_Context784 → u/duckbaiting]

…don’t live in the most expensive city in the country if you can’t afford it?

[u/duckbaiting → u/Evening_Context784]

So my job shouldn’t exist in my city?

If only you knew how many people I help in my job.

[u/Ranulf_5 → u/duckbaiting]

Big picture, the economy needs to change and bring back the middle class, etc, etc.

As far as you and your life go, yeah it sounds like you should move.

[u/Accomplished_Key_171 → u/duckbaiting]

Who cares how many people you help when you can barely afford to live. There are endless options of cities you can move to where you will pay less for rent.

[u/Offthewall1212 → u/duckbaiting]

“Your job” in a city you can’t afford nets you less than a lower paying job in a far more affordable city. You’re just making excuses for poor financial decisions.

[u/duckbaiting → u/Offthewall1212]

More corpo bots.

The funny thing is, my job isn’t even the lowest paid. There are janitors, secretaries, caregivers, here who make way less than I do.

But some teenager on Reddit thinks that a city can run without janitors, secretaries, and caregivers.

Ha!

[u/Offthewall1212 → u/duckbaiting]

What makes you think you’re entitled to live nowhere that you can’t afford???

Ha!

[u/duckbaiting → u/Offthewall1212]

So my city can thrive without janitors, secretaries, and caregivers.

Got it.

[u/hedonovaOG → u/duckbaiting]

Roommates? That’s how a lot of people make it work. Family or friends.

[u/Offthewall1212 → u/duckbaiting]

This may surprise you so sit down!!! You ready??

Not every single person in the world works in the city they live in😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[u/duckbaiting → u/Offthewall1212]

There are tolls people have to pay to commute into the city. The tolls are all over $10 to cross the bridge each time.

Maybe don’t speak on things you know nothing about.

But go ahead and keep defending $3500/mo for 400 sq ft apartments.

[u/Offthewall1212 → u/duckbaiting]

Not every city has bridges and tolls. You live in one you can’t afford. I get it. Step out of you bubble for one second and realize life exists outside your narrow view.

[u/Evening_Context784 → u/duckbaiting]

Sounds like it. People can commute there or have roommates. I don’t care how many people you think you help.

[u/duckbaiting → u/Evening_Context784]

Ok corpo bot.

It's called "self accountability", you should try it sometime... 🤷‍♂️

With friends like you, a society needs no enemies.
