their mortgage if they bought in 2015 (they bought in 2002) would have been around $2300. That same house according to zillow would have a mortgage of $5300/month.
My rent in my crappy little house is $3000/month.
It's kinda funny how someone young could be making 3k more/month than their neighbor but because you weren't smart enough to be born 10 years earlier you're hosed and have to live off of less to pay for the same house they bought when they were your age or even younger.
