    I bought my first apartment because my monthly costs would be like 30% less than rent. Like with many things, it’s expensive to be poor.

      Absolutely. It’s the same even in very small scale in buying groceries. You can save a lot by buying bigger sized packages but not everyone can afford to since they don’t have such money on hand. So they’re wasting money (or being less efficient about it) because they can’t afford to not do anything else. Shitty situation.
