i suppose the disconnect happening in the replies is that people assume i meant normal in my rent amount. my original comment was meant to compare what an nfl player, with a family i might add, supposedly lives off of in entire year to my, me being a middle class single person, yearly rent (whether that rent is high or low or normal). so sure, he and many may live much cheaper. but cheap enough such that his taxes, utilities, food, family care, general bills, purchases, etc. all still add up to $24,000. i doubt it without heavy caveats to that number he gave.
