You can’t rent a room for his entire annual take home, let alone an apartment, and that leaves out utilities, food, transportation, etc.
You can if you’re renting a room from a relative and your “rent” is basically a family fee to help offset the food they buy and the gas they use driving you around.
I call bullshit on the “no flip phone, no smart phone” line. I knew people in college who’d go to places like MetroPCS or Boost and get a super cheap smart phone for $30 and pay $30 a month for service. Were they the best phones? No. But they were a necessity since both an employer and a university would need a way to contact a person.
