“Paid my rent, now I have a place to starve”

“I paid the rent… Now I’ve got a place to starve to death” (or “Paid my rent, now I have a place to starve”) is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. Many people pay the rent and have little money left over for necessities such as food.
