Struggling to Afford Rent, Feeling Financially Stretched

Posted by KindUser9851 • November 26, 2025 • 8 comments

I'm feeling really stressed about how much rent takes up of my income. With rent prices so high, it feels impossible to stick to the 30% rule. Can I even afford $2400 per month on a $60k salary? It’s hard not to feel like I'm spending too much on rent and sacrificing my finances.
