My rent was less than that in the aughts.
There are people in my hometown that have car payments higher than their mortgage payments.
I should appreciate how much work I don't have to do by not having a car to pay for
How many of these people live in their cars?
My mortgage is less than that today.
(Although TBF, that's because I bought during the Great Recession -- I wouldn't be able to afford to re-buy the same house today.)
I have never had that cheap a mortgage but it is scary when you realize you could not buy your house if you were looking to.
My rent was less than that in 2018!
Well I live in a major metro area so by the twenty teens keeping under 1k was pretty hard unless the area was majorly seedy. Heck im not sure you can get that cheap in the worst neighborhoods anymore.
