My first apartment was in 1978, an off-campus efficiency apartment in Detroit and my rent was $125.00. I worked part-time at the student newspaper. Don’t remember what I earned, but it wasn’t much, maybe $80, with temp work in the summer. I do remember that I had two huge advantages: fairly good savings (which not everyone has) and Social Security payments for college since I had a retired parent (which no one has today).
