    Yeah, ideally rent should be around 1/3rd of your income. In my town, a conservative 2br 1ba apt is gonna cost you about $2000. That means minimum wage would have to be around $34.

    Alternatively, with our minimum wage currently at $15.45, that means a two bedroom apartment would have to be priced below $900.
