How the hell do people afford to live on their own? I turned 27 this year and still living with my parents despite having a job, working 40 hours a week, I still can't afford a place of my own because most of the apartments in my area are in the range of $1,200, which is pretty much within the range of the amount I make in two weeks.

they make more than $15/hr, but I doubt that simple answer is what you were looking for, I sense that there is a hidden question in your question because it does not make sense to ask how people can afford something that you cannot afford yourself it is pretty self explanatory

You either get a high-paying job, live with roommates, or find a partner and move in with them.

By making money?

>still living with my parents despite having a job
What job? We're in 2025, it's not the 80s in which you can get by just working a minimum wage job.

If you live with your parents, put 95% of your money in bitcoin and you can buy them their own place in a couple short years.

Many don't. In some places, like New York, more than 50% of 20-somethings live with their parents

B making decent money. That's really the answer, or pay with a partner.

I was working 50 hours min wage (UK) and had to live with 5 different flatmates to leave my parents house. Went to uni and got decent job and have managed to secure a mortgage.

The economy is fucked. Only way to live like a normal independent adult now is doing a decent degree or trade unfortunately.

There are better tokens to become financially independent with. He'll be better off with mining ASIC-resistant coins like XMR or VTC on hardware he already has like old laptops or PC's that are sitting in his house collecting dust. Sure, they might have a lower market cap, but that doesn't significantly influence price fluctuations either. Either way acquiring intangible assets like crypto does help a lot, I'll give you that.

They don't, is the short answer to that. The first thing people generally do when they leave home is to rent a single room in a shared apartment or house. It's only one they are earning more that they try to get a place of their own.

>>33488463 (OP)
They don't. They take a loan and keep paying it for life, and when they die, they inherit the house to their kids so they keep paying the loan.

The "average" first time home buyer is 37 now, by the time you turn 37 it will be 50.
Just forget about buying a house for the next 15 years.

Everyone is talking about buying a place, but OP was talking about renting.
