Rent increases while pay stays the same (Meme)


I'm a single guy in my mid 30's and I might have to move in with my dad which is something I never thought would happen. Rent is going up 40 to 50% in most apartments in my city. I was paying $1,085 for a 2bd 2bath with garage, it will now be $1,700 by Sept. I only bring home $28k a year after taxes but my gross is over $32k so I don't qualify for affordable housing. The days of paying only 1/3 for rent are long gone. Something has to give, I don't see it staying like this long term.
