    I made 10 bucks an hour in 2007 and had a one bedroom one bathroom apartment for $475 in a college city.

    Living on your own was possible 18 years ago.

        That same apartment I lived in jumped to something like $750 immediately in response to the crash. It now rents for $1300 last I checked. Same little end unit next to the dumpsters.
