He’s being sarcastic because only rich people can afford four blueberries with the money left over after paying rent. The rest of us pay 90% of our paycheck for rent then starve because we don’t have enough money left to buy four blueberries.
I live near Austin, and home prices have tripled since 2019, driving more people to apartments while cities ban new apartment complexes.
I’ve been fortunate enough to get a few promotions and double my pay in the last 18 months, but with the increases in rent and other expenses I actually end up having about the same amount of disposable income as when I made half as much money, and rent is a higher percentage of my expenses than it was before my raises.
And I haven’t moved into a more expensive place. I’ve lived in the same place for a decade now.
Are you being sarcastic or just how much are you paying for rent??

My rent is $1500/month. I make about $1900 before taxes.
