This is exactly why we built Split Pay—to solve the impossible math so many renters face every month.
California resident says rents have gotten so high she has to make payment plans
“I am so f*cking annoyed every 1st of the month because I got paid today, and what I make is not enough to pay rent, so I have to do a flex payment. I got paid about $2,600 today. My rent is $2,800
Then I have 2 utility bills:
- One utility bill is an electric and gas bill, which that this month it was $300, and that's also due today
- Then the other one is the water bill, which was $193 this month, which is also due today
- Then I have Verizon, my boyfriend and I, and the Verizon bill is $215. Don't know why it's that much.We don't get service anywhere.
Then on top of that, we have the Internet bill. And did you guys know in San Diego you can only get Cox Service. Service. You can't get any other service (It’s a literal monopoly, many areas in San Diego it’s the only option for service) Long story short, that fucking bill is $140
And like I said, I only made $2,600 — So that's f*cking amazing. Isn't that great”
