In addition to owning the metal shop where I work, my boss also owns a few houses that he rents out. This week he was telling the guys in the shop to spread word among their family and friends that he has a vacant house available for rent at $2k a month. It's three blocks from the shop. One of the shop foremen stepped up and said he'd be interested in renting the house. The boss responded: “No, you can't afford it. You don't make enough money.”
