Well... &quot;more or less&quot; has a pretty large variance. My mother rents a 2 bedroom duplex in Idaho for like $500&#x2F;month. In the Bay Area I could probably rent a tent in my backyard for $500&#x2F;month. A person making $150k&#x2F;yr where she lives in Idaho is going to be far better off than a person making $250k&#x2F;yr in the Bay Area.
