Why is rent $2000/m?

This animated meme shows the character Walter White from the TV series Breaking Bad looking at his mobile phone. His expression shifts from confused and concerned to increasingly upset and pained, before the screen abruptly cuts to black. The repeated text overlay reads "When she asks if she can come over, but you're 21 and still live with your dad:". The meme answers the title's question about high $2000 monthly rent, joking that exorbitant rental costs make it unaffordable for many young adults to move out of their parents' homes, leading to awkward and embarrassing romantic or social situations when a partner wants to visit.

This meme was originally shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, as indicated by the provided source information.
