    $17/hr can afford ~$880/mo. rent. Not impossible, especially with a roommate or domestic partner.

      You forgot about other things like food, probably a car, phone bill.

        I did not. I calculated rent as 30% of income, the level generally considered affordable. Admittedly it is pre-tax income, so arguably the number is a bit lower, but it’s a start.
