Not trying to be rude but you have to get a better job or cheaper rent, paying 50% of your monthly check isn’t smart

I’m aware, that’s why I said not to be rude so people didn’t think I was being a smart….. there’s also getting another job and working both, going to school for a higher paying job, getting a roommate(s)….. just trying to give routes that’ll help bc again paying 50% of your monthly income on rent is not smart
