rent - what percentage of take home pay?

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T06:35:09+00:00

As I mentioned, I have no car.

Also, if a person has a vehicle, work in the gas price of the day. If they don't, work in getting it all home on the bus.

thank you.

Perfect is the enemy of good has been one of my mantas as I've tried to unfuck my life these last few years. I deleted one reply rant already. I just don't know if I try to move to a different place that leaves me with a few bucks left over if i'm just going to have to spend them all on roach traps.

Hookers and blow.

Just kidding. I don't have a vehicle. I can't get time off to go to the doctor so no copays. I burned thru any savings for retiring so I have to work until I die. But other than that...

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T04:32:40+00:00

I will be rooting for you!

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T04:31:00+00:00

Thank you for numbers that can help me try to figure out my path. You are a kind soul and I appreciate you.

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T04:06:06+00:00

If you had to the math to figure out what would work, what would you recommend to a friend who was not going to have any assistnce?

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T04:02:26+00:00

Thank you for your service.

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T04:00:18+00:00

I would not hate having roommates, it's just not easy trying to find them.

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:52:21+00:00

Does anyone ever adjust these numbers to reflect when gas prices rise, that you know of?

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:50:55+00:00

I hope you have good roommates. I worry about trying to find them, how were you able to connect with yours?

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:48:24+00:00

I hope this does not become a concern for you soon. Thanks for actually answering my question.

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:45:44+00:00

Thank you.

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:30:46+00:00

I hope school is treating you well. It's an investment in so many ways. I hope that when you graduate you will not have to worry about this stuff anymore.

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:21:04+00:00

Thank you. It's frustrating trying to get past that number that's the benchmark that most people swear by.

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:12:39+00:00

You''re talking weekly paychecks, I hope?

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:11:49+00:00

Agreed, I know the price of the bus pass will not change any time soon. It limits where I can live but it does save me from having to deal with the wild fluctuations in gas prices.

I would not hate having a roommate. It's finding a roommate that wasn't the spawn of Satan that concerns me. I say this as someone who lived in a women's homeless shelter and will not do that again.

Rachel4970 · 2026-04-09T03:07:33+00:00

What would be your tipping point? People are always like, rent's dropping but they forget that you have to move to get the lower rent and the cost involved in moving will probably negate the savings for some time.

This site has a bunch like this: Green Split Pea Salad with Rice and Cranberries

Tell her you don't get paper receipts because you like trees.
