    Yes, and 2000/month rent is unaffordable at 85% of your income.

      I wasn’t trying to imply that it’s affordable at that rate, but they said they make 3/4 as much as the rent. Something is fishy about that. They’re either getting ripped off, or they don’t work full-time. Usually part-time workers don’t refer to their income as “salary”.
