Mortifying math error. This guy spends a mere 90 percent of rent on oatmeal.

That's 13% of 69%, or only 9% of spending on oatmeal vs. 10% on rent

how much it seems fair to pay in rent. it’s a bunch of planks with a roof, how much could a house cost? surely not more than 30 bowls of oatmeal a month.

I wonder what were they making with all that wheat flour if they were buying bread separately?

This tells you how inexpensive food is now. Agriculture has changed everything. Now do your irrigation rant again.

The funniest thing is that he spends the same amount on rent and “drink” (presumably alcohol?).

Am i tweaking or this guy bad at math? 13% of 69% is 8.97% Oatmeal = 8.97% Rent = 10% How DOES HE ARRIVE AT THE CONCLUSION THAT OATMEAL > RENT?

Avocados gotta take up a large chunk of the 60% food. I think the breakout is wrong.

I currently spend a similar percentage on fuel and light, if you include gas. (of course most of that is taxes)

The butter on top and the milk poured over the oatmeal both come out of the budget fraction spent in the category "Dairy". Commentatarians are neglecting the full recipe.
