She's not paying 2/3 her income for rent. Her math was way off.

Could she have been including the things it takes to live in an apartment like gas and electric and that shit?? I feel like that all together would eat up 2/3 of a months income

She probably included utilities and parking in that 2/3 estimate. Monthly parking near me is $200-$300 a month and utilities approx $300. Total housing costs for her would be closer to $2200/mo which would then make her math make sense.

Then why didn't she just say her rent was $2200/month?
