Are you being sarcastic or just how much are you paying for rent??

He's being sarcastic because only rich people can afford four blueberries with the money left over after paying rent. The rest of us pay 90% of our paycheck for rent then starve because we don't have enough money left to buy four blueberries.

I live near Austin, and home prices have tripled since 2019, driving more people to apartments while cities ban new apartment complexes.

I've been fortunate enough to get a few promotions and double my pay in the last 18 months, but with the increases in rent and other expenses I actually end up having about the same amount of disposable income as when I made half as much money, and rent is a higher percentage of my expenses than it was before my raises.

And I haven't moved into a more expensive place. I've lived in the same place for a decade now.

My rent is $1500/month. I make about $1900 before taxes.
