Date: September 20th, 2016 8:55 PM Author: Hyperactive tan factory reset button trailer park In MFH you figure 1/2 goes to taxes, 48,000 goes to rent if you want to live in a 1BR in a decent neighborhood without a roommate, that leaves you $3,500/month to cover all of your expenses and much less if you contribute to retirement accounts. It's certainly comfortable-ish, but $117/day after paying rent doesn't exactly leave you a lot and will you look at what they make you give?
