Simply copy and paste the code below and you can share this infographic on your site: [fdembed] San Francisco In San Francisco, the average monthly rent is a cringe-inducing $3,213. Yikes. For that amount, you could get: -11 iPad Mini 2s at $269 each -247 pounds of prime rib at $12.99 a pound -A 7-night cruise to Tahiti for 2 ($2,999) For a year of rent ($38,556), you could get: -A fully loaded 2016 Jeep Wrangler -7 jet skis -One night in the Penthouse Suite at the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez, France, at $37,500 a night Ouch, San Francisco. This hurts. Los Angeles In Los Angeles, the average monthly rent is $2,278. That’s less expensive than San Francisco but still not great. For one month of rent in Los Angeles, here’s what you could buy: -543 fast-food burgers at $4.19 each -9 dogs at an adoption fee of $250 each -One bottle of Krug champagne ($2,000) For 20 years of Los Angeles rent — $546,720 — you could get: -A pair of 2016 Lamborghini Huracans at $245,940 each -13 nights in the Hilltop Estate at Laucala Island Resort, Fiji, at $40,000 a night We’re thinking of finding a new city to live in. New York New York’s average monthly rent is $3,642 (!), making Los Angeles and San Francisco look cheap by comparison. For a month of New York rent, you could get: -3 nights in the Plaza Hotel at $945 a night -3,060 Taco Bell Crunchy Tacos at $1.19 each -A professional 7-piece drum kit ($3,122) For 5 years of rent — $218,520 — you could get: -Two 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class luxury automobiles at $109,000 each -A personal chef for 5 years New York rent prices are truly ridiculous. We’ll take the crunchy tacos, please. Chicago In Chicago, the average monthly rent is $1,942; not too bad for a big city. We’re looking at you, New York. For a month of Chicago rent, here’s what you could get: -14 lobster dinners for two at $130 each -19 tickets to Disneyland at $99 each -A flight to Kathmandu ($1,900) For 20 years of rent ($466,080), you could get: -6,214 personal training sessions at $75 each -A used 52-foot yacht at $465,000 Not too shabby.

But still, we’d love to not pay rent for five years and get a Tesla instead. Minneapolis The average monthly rent in Minneapolis is a pretty affordable $1,259. For that amount of cash, you could get: -A Chanel tweed skirt suit ($1,195) -A leather sectional sofa ($1,249) For 5 years of rent ($75,540), you could get: -A year-long trip around the world -A jet turbine-powered powerboat One trip around the world, please.
