potentially dumb question but can someone explain the logic of “subletting” your apartment out for 2 weeks while you’re on vacation? like is rent really that high or are people really that cash strapped or what?

people are broke af dude and rent is hella expensive sometimes you can rent your place for 2 weeks for the price of a full month normally and if you’re traveling you’re likely paying for accommodation there too so ”double rent”

one last comment lol but this question really reminds me of the question “why do poor people buy nice TVs and cars when they’re always complaining about living paycheck to paycheck?” people deserve to be happy and content and enjoy life regardless of their financial situation. people deserve to have a nice roof over their heads that feels like home. folks may choose to scrimp on other things (eating out, buying processed food, going to concerts) so they can have nice things and still enjoy life (i.e. going on vacations or having a really nice apt that you may have to sublet when you travel)

What! No they should spend 30 years eating ramen each day and never have any joy. How dare they not know their place and try to extract a little fun from an unfair hand in life 😀
