Seems kind of arbitrary, but whatever. That leaves a bunch for other necessities and entertainment.

Since it's a two bedroom apartment, you only need to make half of that. Minimum wage can support that in nearly all of the states. Don't fucking live in San Francisco if you can't afford it, and there won't be a problem.

Golly, if only there were some way more than one person could occupy a two-bedroom apartment. Perhaps have a second person, a 'mate' if you will who is willing to split the expenses with you for those rooms, thus requiring a smaller income.
We could call this a 'room mate'.

you want to know where you don't want to fucking live. I will tell you.

I live in San Francisco. I make 160,000 a year plus stock options.

This is one of the most expensive cities in the world.

I live by myself. And because I choose to do so I have to live like a nigger.

I live in the Tenderloin area of the city. Basically I step over homeless people, human shit, discarded needles on a daily basis.

I live 1 block away from a homeless shelter and 1 block away from a police station. I open my window at night and here yelling, screaming, fighting, and gun shots on a daily basis.

/pol/ this needs to be exterminated. I in all rights should be living the good life but I have to live by fucking niggers due to government tax rates and how expensive this city is.

I don't want to live in a 2 bedroom apartment with 10 other people.

This is your future if you don't stop this now.

Everyone if you are smart follow this plan. It is what I have done.

Save 10% of your income.

Every year put 20% down on an investment property that is a 2 or 3 bedroom house. Take out a 30 year loan on the property and rent it out.

As soon as you have another 20% down for a property saved up get another property and get a loan on it. DO NOT INVEST IN THE FUCKING GETTO.

Do this for 10 years and you will own at least 10 homes. You will cash flow the fuck out.

By then you can either take all the excess cash flow and put it towards loan 1, 2, 3, etc. or you can continue buying properties as soon as you get 20% down available.

Do this and you will be a multimillionare. I guarentee it.

If you make $50,000 or more you can follow this plan. Invest in the midwest where you can buy homes for $50,000 or less. Try to invest in 3 bedroom homes over 2 bedroom homes as they rent for more and you will get more stable tenants.

If only that were so, but the government is stealing roughly 30% of your income in taxes. 30% spending on just living space is the ideal number because you're spending something like 20% on all the other basic amenities like food, internet and things that make life slightly tolerable. You're amazingly well off if you can keep even 10% or 15% of your income after everything. Especially if you can save it.

THE MISLEADING CLAIM: US Uncut shows a map spotted with numbers like 73, 59, 64, etc, and claims "here's how many hours a week you need to work just to pay rent."

WHY IT'S MISLEADING:
This would be an alarming claim if it weren't so distorted. For one, in the article they cite, the actual claim is a bit more precise, claiming that there is not a single state in the U.S. where a minimum wage employee can afford a one-bedroom apartment. [a] While this conclusion makes a bit more sense, it's still potentially misleading if you aren't aware of the definitions being used to render it.

For instance, here are some pertinent notes from the ACTUAL 257 paged study:

• The word "afford" is quite subjective, and this report defines "affordability" as "no more than 30% of a household’s gross income." [b] In other words, if rent cost more than that, this report simply concluded that people "couldn't afford rent," whether that be true or not.

• How it determined local rent costs was ALSO important to note. It used something called "Fair Market Rent." FMR is defined as "the 40th percentile of gross rents for typical, non-substandard rental units." [b] Understanding that "median rent" would have meant "rent in the 50th percentile," what this is really counting is the cost of apartments that are slightly cheaper than the median. It does NOT count apartments even cheaper than that, however, or apartments defined as sub-standard. Per the HUD, who develops this definition, the following units are excluded: public housing units, rental units considered substandard in quality, seasonal rentals, rental units on 10 or more acres, and section 8 housing units. [c] This is potentially misleading, since despite there being numerous affordable options for rent, the report simply didn't acknowledge them because they're deemed "low income housing" or "sub-standard." They're essentially concluding that low-income earners can't afford to be anything other than low-income spenders. Should that really shock anyone? It doesn't mean they're destitute.

• As shown on pages 9, 15, and elsewhere in the 257 paged report (if willing to do the math yourself), the researchers also didn't look at TOTAL compensation (including benefits and overtime, etc). They merely took an estimated hourly rate, multiplied it by 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, and acted as though that was all the money people were bringing in. As many hard workers know, this is often not the case, as many individuals work more than 40 hours in a week.

So now that we know this report has the potential to be thoroughly misleading, let's pick a state and do a little fact checking. Take Washington state, for example. On the graphic, they indicate one needs to work 73 hours to afford rent in Washington. Per RentJungle.com, rent for a one-bedroom in Seattle, WA is around $1,634. [d] However. Per NUMBEO.com, rent OUTSIDE the city is around $1,261. [e]

Washington state's Office of Financial Management projected that median household income in 2014 was around 58,686. [f] According to the Census ACS 1-year survey, however, the median household income for Washington was actually $61,366 in 2014. [g] Understanding that income estimates are subject to varying collection methods and therefore often a bit inaccurate, we can average these estimates and get $60,026. Now, if we subtract federal income tax, social security tax, medicare tax, and standard deductions, (Washington doesn't have a state income tax) we're left with an estimated monthly disposable income of $3,606. [h] That's more than enough to afford to live outside the city and pay around $1,261 for a one bedroom apartment.

Next, if we looked at the hourly wage of an "average renter" in Washington, which according to this report was $16.30 [b], and again subtracted taxes/deductions, we'd be left with a monthly disposable income of around $1,931. [i] After paying rent for a one bedroom apartment, such an individual would have $670 leftover to pay for other expenses (remember, this is after taxes). Now that IS difficult, but it's still doable. It's also not the cheapest apartment, however.

Lastly, if we looked at the state's minimum wage, which is $9.47 an hour [j], we can see that a post-tax monthly income of $981 certainly wouldn't be enough to afford a $1261 apartment, and we acknowledge that. However, as alluded to above, there are numerous less expensive options available that simply were overlooked. As of 1/3/16, here's a list of apartments for less than $500 a month in Washington State:

It took LESS THAN 1 MINUTE to find those. Surely people in need can find some of these lower priced apartments.

CONCLUSION:
The standards used in this report are entirely arbitrary and amount to nothing more than an exercise in mental gymnastics. The definitions used, by design, exclude the very real examples of low income individuals able to pay rent, as to paint a dire picture. OF COURSE lower income individuals might have to pay a larger share of their incomes towards rent. And OF COURSE low-income individuals may have to live in low-income housing. That doesn't mean they're destitute, however. It also doesn't mean they're prevented from living with a working spouse, as to have a two-income household, or living with a relative / roommate until their career has improved. Essentially, all this report does is confirm that those with low incomes can't afford non-low prices. How is that even remotely surprising?

You forgot rising interest rates, foreign land banking, unrestrained immigration, but sure all those things are true, especially regulations.

Melbournian here, rising land values are just a way of life to me, it started around when I was born and I watched my parents frantically buy as many as possible. Now that we own enough, it's almost like we're part of a hidden noble community in Australia.

There are software engineering jobs elsewhere, in places that don't cost as much. Granted, you're probably not going to make $160k/yr, but you won't be spending $2000/mo to rent in a shitty neighborhood either.

No, we just shouldn't be required to pay for their spawn.

If you fuck up and have kids, don't steal from strangers (taxation/welfare) and let your scummy fucking kids die. You'll be doing the world a favor.

Perthfag here. That's all and well unless your parents are cunts that keep it for themselves.

Literally millions worth in property and its all for "retirement". Forget that you got free uni education and a strong economy to get your first job in though...

Yeah, the free market fixed it, faggots. I don't live in some huge expensive city because I'm not retarded.

The map is retarded in general though, so there's that to consider.

Not even, the issue with gen X is that their advanced diplomas are equivalent to a modern day masters, as in just a little more than a bachelor degree. Youth unemployment/underemployment (if you have a degree, what are you doing flipping burgers?) is a serious and hidden problem all across the world and there isn't a single politician in the west willing to address that problem.

It's interesting how many different ways the "developing nations" meme can fuck young people.

Thankfully, they enjoy owning houses too much to sell and the house prices are about to go down because interest rates, so their instincts is not to sell. They get easily 1000$ a week in rent and don't have expensive past times, so they don't care.

>>59981876

the point is that if you have two bedrooms you can split the rent with someone else halving the expense.

If you make 10 dollars an hour working 40 hours a week you cannot afford to live alone or with a stay at home wife

What gets me every fucking time is how, in my city, the only difference between an "apartment building" and a "housing project" is the amount of blacks in it.

Also how dirty and crime ridden it is, but I'm talking about cause here, not effect.

>gov restricts the building of housing, restricts renting out rooms, imposes rent controls, levies enormous property taxes.

and people wonder why rent is so damn high? it's the government, stupid.

As a renter in VT, who has rented multiple houses, not apartments, I can assure you that I would be living like a king if I made the wage that the charts suggests. Maybe if I wanted to live as close as possible to UVM or somewhere similar that might be the case, but for most of the state it's ridiculous. This image is horseshit.

Actually, I'm a renter and recent college grad in Texas. If I made the amount on for Texas ($16.62), I'd be able to pay all my bills, my student loan note that's going to come into effect in June, and then have money leftover for savings, assuming I living in my current apartment with my current roommates.

So everywhere but california, washington, and new york, two people working full time at minimum wage can afford a two bedroom apartment without using more than 30% of their paycheck.

Huh. I can't help but wonder. What do Washington, California, and New York have in common?
