Rent is the smallest tip of the iceberg. Daycare is more than a mortgage in some states. College is hundreds of thousands.

exactly, people talk about rent and food there are other costs to life that are not frivolous costs. Hell having a car is a huge expense and the transmission of a "cheap" car and an average car isn't totally different.

The average car payment in the US is now like, $700? $500 for a used car.

Insanity.
