If your bank account doesn’t remind you of this daily, you’ll be sure to hear about it in the media.

Without a doubt, the biggest drain your account—besides food and booze—is rent, and like death, it’s completely unavoidable.

While sharing a place is a great way to cut back on your rent costs, the reality is that even some inner-city Brisbane suburbs are now getting a little too ~rich~ for your liking.

According to recent data from Flatmates.com.au, based on listings created this year, 36 Brisbane suburbs now have average weekly room rents over $200. FML, right?
