Something I have trying to figure out. Here in Pittsburgh, there are apartments that cost 3600+ Like this place. www.glasshouseapts.com/floor-plans/apartments/295Giving that most places say you need to make 3X the rent. I can not figure out who and how people are making 11,000 a month.

That's why I don't plan on having kids any time soon. I mean, you grow up thinking, of course I will kids. Then, life comes in and kicks you in the nuts. Taking care of myself is already expensive enough as it is.

We finally moved to FL. Wanted to do it 2019-2020 but COVID messed that all up. We're renting instead of buying a house sight unseen.
IF we can find a house we're paying way more than we should.
IF we stay renting, I'm assuming rent is going to go up by at least 50%.

The average rent for a 2 bedroom should not be 1800 dollars.

So the cost of living is getting higher and higher, yet the minimum wage is still the same. How the hell does that work!?

The average hourly rate in Pittsburgh is 18 dollars. The average rent is 1378. Half your check goes to rent. This is insane. That number is up from February this year.
The cost of living is 1% higher here than the national average. There is no reason for this. Pittsburgh is not a tourist area. Downtown closes at 5pm.

I know this goes against be a capatalist, and people love capitalism. Even though the average person is a consumer. Yet people in this country should be able to have a living wage, housing and an education. If you want luxury items, you work towards that. If not do as you please. The banks are going to crash the market again. No one will be help accountable, they will be bailed out by tax payers. They only things I see popping up are banks and housing no one can afford.
Meanwhile billions to buy twitter. It is like a circus, and we are the clowns.

Yeah it's at a point where I feel like I reached a dead end. To me, that's worse than failure.

The housing market is going to crash again. Housing bubble 2.0? Regional housing markets are beginning to look like they did in 2007 Fast-forward to today, where the U.S. housing market is once again going through a historic housing boom. Over the past two years, U.S. home prices are up 34.4%—including a 19.8% jump over the past 12 months. That 12-month hike is more than four times greater than the historic annual average (4.6%) posted since 1987. It's also well above the largest 12-month price jump (14.7%) posted in the years leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. Our ongoing housing boom has more economists pondering the most feared word in real estate: “bubble.” In March researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas sent chills down the spines of homebuilders and real estate agents when they released a paper titled "Real-time market monitoring finds signs of brewing U.S. housing bubble." The Dallas Fed researchers found home prices were becoming detached from economic fundamentals (i.e., household incomes). However, if a housing correction does come to pass, the Dallas Fed researchers don't think it would cause macroeconomic issues like we saw from the last bubble. Unlike the last go-around, they write, "household balance sheets [today] appear in better shape, and excessive borrowing doesn’t appear to be fueling the housing market boom." That said, some regional housing markets could be in full-blown housing bubbles. At the very least, many markets are priced exorbitantly compared to what local income levels can support. That's what Fortune found after looking at an analysis by the Real Estate Initiative at Florida Atlantic University. Each month, researchers at the university calculate how overpriced or underpriced home prices are in America's 100 largest housing markets. fortune.com/2022/05/09/housing-bubble-watch-housing-markets-are-beginning-to-look-like-they-did-in-2007/
