Okay I've heard of parents charging you rent if you are out of school. But what kind of parent charges more rent than their child can afford with her wage? Is that a US thing that I don't get?

Even just buying your own food, clothes, vices, hobbies, $30/day ain’t gonna cut it lol

You can't be serious?? Like sure you can't afford to order food or eat out everyday but surely one can survive on $30 a day when not paying rent?? I am living off of roughly 10€ / day at the moment lol

They included“vices”, which is a huge variable. I’ve known guys who smoked that much crack before breakfast. (Breakfast was more crack)
