The minimum wage was $5.15 meaning they could pay their rent with one paycheck on minimum wage and still have 3 more left over, $350 average car payment, groceries were cheaper, everything was cheaper. It’s so annoying when they say “we made less”

I graduated HS in 2000 and could easily afford a 2bdrm apartment on part time minimum wage, while in college. Young ppl today don't stand a chance.

This is why they think if we just "skip daily coffee" we'll be able to afford rent. Because it only cost them $5.83 a day

Can we all just stand together and do something about this? Rent is out of control, and the approval process is brutal for no reason.
