At some point an adult doesn't want a roommate.

Usually the adult exchanges a roommate for a spouse, who also works to help pay the rent.

and then, a child comes along.

And you can have a kid in a 2BR and its not “poverty.”

Is that how it usually works? That's not what my wife says... oh.

When I got my first job after I got my CS degree in 2007, my rent was under $400 without a roommate and my base pay was about $18/hr. I thought that was pretty good, because it was a real hourly rate, with a significant bonus for overtime.

Well at some point an adult has to stop making entry level wages at a startup as well.
