Sure, but people in my line of work who make damn good money do it to themselves as well. I just can't wrap my head around putting yourself in such a vulnerable position if you have the reasonable option to not do so.
Unless your line of work is leveraging paychecks massive enough to be far beyond what us peasants can comprehend, I don't think 560$~ dollars a month is a reasonable option for most anyone. And that's just for a single person, a regular nuclear family would be pushing 2000 a month there. That's around most people's mortgage.
I get your position and I agree with it in principle. But I don't think even people making damn good money can just throw away that kind of change when the alternatives are an entire house.
That's what I'm saying. My peer group is making that kind of money and still chooses to make themselves vulnerable. It baffles me.
On the flip side, mortgages around here are closer to $6,000 per month. So shit's fucked one way or another.
