@deborahs757 How in the fuck is 105k (let alone renting out an apartment) a 'normal' 100% salary.
I'm making 74k. Housing is 18k, Health insurance around 5k, Food and household spendings around 7k, Internet and phone bill 2k, Fun and vacation 5k, Car around 6k. Means 74k - 43k - 7k in taxes = 24k to save
Now add a child, or any unforeseen circumstances. Things would get uncomfortable pretty quick.
The reason why people on normal salaries are struggling is the fact that life has gotten a lot more expensive in recent years and salary increases haven't kept up with the increase. Easy as that.
