Different timescale; Average income is annual, and rent is monthly
That's confusing. Why not use the same time scale? And what country quotes rent monthly? We do weekly here. Monthly rent makes no sense because months are different lengths.
Rent is the US is typically monthly.
As far as potentially stupid things the US does, this is pretty far down the list.
Canada's also monthly. I've spent some time in Aussie land, they do weekly instead.
I prefer monthly so I only have to stress out about being kneecapped financially once a month instead of 4x a month.
