I got my first apartment in 2001. I earned maybe $8hr and my girlfriend at the time made a whopping $10hr. We had one car paid off and a car payment. We didn’t have a lot left over but we were able to put a tiny bit in savings and occasionally go out to dinner, concerts, etc. We each had a cell phone, cable, and a few other “luxuries”. I don’t know exactly what that same apartment costs a month now, but I know it’s way more than my mortgage and that two people making slightly above minimum wage probably couldn’t afford to live like I did 20 years ago. It’s utterly out of control.

Great example.
