But depending on where you live, that may be doable or not. If you live in NYCITY, then $25,000 a year is almost poverty level. You can't afford a rent there. Or boston for that matter. Down south rents are cheaper than in New England. And many places in California are very expensive. That is why many young people have room mates, but of course that can open doors to all kinds of other problems if it turns out that you are not compatible. Good luck in your search for a decent rent.
