Assuming you make $9 an hour, you'd need to work 70+ hours a week just to make rent after you factor in payroll tax. Fuck literally everything about that.Currently, the median asking price for rentals countywide is $1,995 for one-bedroom apartments.
You put two people in the bedroom and the kid sleeps on the couch. Now only 35 of your 40 go to rent. You have an extra $270/mo left over for car payment, gas, insurance, electricity, water, sewer and food for three people. What the hell is your problem, man? (BTW: if you're earning $9 an hour you live a long way from where you're making your money and probably spending $100/wk on gas easy)
