re: How much rent can a young person afford on 60k income?

The least amount I've ever made out of school was 90,000. My rent at the time was $425..... I managed, but I had to budget my money.


A few years later my salary was $180,000 and my house note was $1,400....... i struggled. I lived pay check to paycheck.I had 2 car notes as well that totaled $1,000/month



I seriously don't have a clue how anyone could survive even if a house was givin to them on $60,000/year.
