The rent includes a washer, dryer, and water service, but they pay between 80 and 120 dollars for electricity.

Apart from rent, one of the most significant expenses mentioned is the car insurance, which amounts to 230 dollars per month. In his case, this amount represents a fixed monthly expense that adds to the other necessary services for his lifestyle.

Finally, he also broke down the cost of communications, mentioning that they pay 150 dollars for two mobile phone lines and internet service at home.

This figure puts into perspective the cost of living in the city of Houston, where rent and services can represent a large part of the family budget.

In the comments, many have mentioned how much they pay in their cities and also expressed their opinions about the amount Valentina pays for her rent.

I live in California and my husband and I pay $6,000 or sometimes more a month," "That's very cheap, in New Jersey that apartment would cost two thousand dollars or more," or "Relatively economical. In Miami, just in rent, you pay more than $2,000," some users say.
