No kidding. I picked a random city in Michigan, found a nice house, new build for $390k. Mortgage is 2,652/month, which leaves $75,176 for necessities. Barely $6000/month for food, electricity and the lease on two lexii? That’s not living
Ok, even if I take out income tax with no tricks to bring it down, take home is 160k.
80k/year on necessities, 48k after housing is taken out.
4000/month for utilities, food, car and gas? There’s no sense breaking down a “comfortable” budget of necessities after that, this whole thing is out to lunch, as far as Petoskey Michigan is concerned

Renting a single family home in almost any city can top 40k a year easy. And no, it’s not anything near luxurious.

In my metro, renting a 3-bed is going to cost minimum 48K/year.
