[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it in Manhattan when single. Had rent controlled 200 square foot walk up with no AC at $800 a month. But taking home $1,600 a month still tough. I had no car, no AC, no internet and no cell phone. But I knew ever happy, friends with vacation homes and went to beach a lot. Also loved crashing Company parties for free. Dating alone are up a lot on money.

Still stressful as landlord wanted me out so nothing fixed and place a shithole [/quote]

What year was this?[/quote]

My landlord danced when I left in 1999. Even then it was a $1,600 a month apt. Last I heard rent is $2,600. But building now all renovated and gentrified when I moved all crack heads and hookers on block [/quote]

So that was 20 years ago.  How is that relevant?[/quote]

Half my building still lives there. If I stayed even in 2019 my rent would be peanuts. You be surprised at amount of folks who pay very little housing. My 80 year old neighbor in 1998 was paying 400 a month rent. Rent increases are like 1.5 percent a year and some years. If alive still paying peanuts [/quote]
