The economy is fine! We just have… money dysmorphia. /s

The gaslighting is at warp speed now.

    Was it always the case that I would be turned down from multiple studio apartment complexes because I ONLY make ~100k a year? I cant afford spending the 2200 a month on rent and that being 33% or lower so I get denied. Has this always been the case or am I having money dismorphia? I’m only making 2X the median single income salary.

      This has always been the case in an unaffordable big city. Even B4 covid.

      What part of you guys can’t afford to live there don’t you get?

          Just live 100 miles away where the cost of living is dirt cheap and take a helicopter in to work.

        It’s hilarious how much effort your ilk puts in to convince everyone everything is normal in the middle of a global recession.
