I always read articles or faggot tweets of people saying
>"a 1br in my area is $x,xxx!!!! How can i afford to live"

I rent a room for 700 and thats not even a quarter of my income. when im in my room, im either sleeping, or laying in bed shitposting. I would be doing virtually the exact same thing in a 1br except id be sitting/laying on a couch in the "living room"

I'm not overjoyed to live with fucking stranger faggots, but my landlady is very nice and my roommates are all nice people. why is the "threshold" for living a 1br apartment. i personally consider a 1br apartment to be a luxury, and though i could afford it, I would rather save money and endure the very slight inconvenicnes of not living alone.
