@accruerent: Rent takes half your paycheck, then tells you to ‘start saving.’ What if rent actually helped you build something? #rent #apartment #loyalty #firsttimehomebuyer #PersonalFinance
Saving money/Budgeting/budget tips are only good for those who don’t live paycheck to paycheck. That’s your answer.

If rent is 50% of your check then you’re living well above your means

I have a theory that they make the stipulation that you have to make 3x the rent before they approve you so they can keep cranking the rent up and they know you can afford it.

I’ve literally cut out so many subscriptions/non-essentials/etc and it literally feels impossible to get ahead no matter what I do

I was told when I moved out that rent should only be 1/3 of my paycheck.... that hasn't been true since I moved out and has only gotten worse through the years

It’s also funny that they’re intentionally keeping us living paycheck to paycheck, telling us to save money we don’t have, but corporations do layoffs & get bailed out for their failure to save any of their profits year after year…

Right plus rent isn’t even your only bill. then you have to eat, keep your pets and/or children alive.

Rent is definitely 75% or more of my check depending on how many hours I’m able to put in for that period

Rent alone takes about 1/3 of my monthly income. I've cut out all subscriptions, rarely eat, and while I have some left over, if I had a car payment, I wouldn't have ANYthing left.

If rent proves you can pay thousands every month, shouldn’t it help you build something back?

I have $70 after I pay rent / bills & car loan until the next paycheck. And that’s for gas, dog food and groceries. Literally paycheck to paycheck. Zero savings

Most people live in unrealistic places for what they make. I make $1000 a week and live in a $825/ month apartment. I’m able to save plenty. Just be smart
