It's a piece of financial advice that's been around for generations: When searching for a place to live, don't spend more than 30% of your income on rent. But with housing costs driving inflation today, is that guideline still realistic? Studies of working-class families in the late 19th century found that people tended to spend "a week's wages for a month's rent." Congress eventually used a 30% standard as guidelines for various federal housing assistance programs. Experts say the rule isn't a
