Sphe had hoped to be woken up by the sound of waves in the morning but the ridiculous rental amount killed that dream.

Cape Town has the most majestic views and beautiful homes. The beaches have gorgeous views and nearby dreamy restaurants. The nightlife is just as exciting as the daytime activities.

Honestly, who wouldn’t want to live in paradise? Nobody, but hey, not everyone can afford to live in paradise. Sphe is one of the people who hoped to live in Cape Town’s paradise but the sky rocketing numbers due for rent made him dizzy.

Sphe’s dream home required him to earn at least 3 times his salary in order to qualify for property.

Pulling out plan B

Sphe received an underwhelming response after applying for property:

“Good day.
"I trust you are well.
Kindly note in order to qualify for the property you need to earn a combined salary of 3x times the rental amount.”

Sphe simply replied with:

“Leave it my brother.”

The gent also captioned his post:

“No way, I’ll try a back room instead.”

Social media couldn’t deal and commented:
