If you live in a major city and don't make six-figures, you probably live with one or more roommates. And, of course, you probably wish every day that you could move to the middle of nowhere—where rents are cheap—and live alone. Well, surprise! Those dreams will probably never come true, because apartments throughout the country just aren't as affordable as you think they are. According to a new report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC), one would have to earn an hourly wage of $22.10 to afford a two-bedroom rental (at the national fair market price of $1,149) and $17.90 an hour to afford a one-bedroom rental at $931 (if we're adhering to the budget advice of keeping your rent 30% of your take-home pay or less).
