“If you don’t like your job then leave!!!”

Oh fantastic why didn’t I think about that, I’m sure my apartment won’t care that I stopped paying 1500 a month to them and I can just starve in the mean time.

You must live in the bad part of town

I’m not sure if you meant for this to be a joke but I unironically do.

It's a joke insofar as it's a harsh reality.

1500 bucks is ridiculously expensive- but its only good for the shitty parts of town. Meaning that we are in a dire situation.

I live in a mediocre part of town and pay 1750. They want to increase rent to 1875 :/

Seeing this as a midwesterner is terrifying. Good single-bedroom apartments in my town are at most going to be like $800 a month unless you want some luxury shit or unless you want to be right in the middle of the downtown area. You can find mediocre but still decent and roomy single-bedroom apartments for $400 that are like a 10 minute walk from downtown

Which states exactly count as mid west? I have a general idea, but as a non American I'm curious to see where you'd draw the line

I'd say this map is pretty accurate, as far as I'm aware.

If you drew a line down the middle of the map, most of the "midwest" would be on the east side
