This post heavily inflates the numbers to maximize the drama.

First month's rent: That's not an added moving expense. You pay rent every month regardless of where you live.

Moving truck: If money is tight, you rent a cheap van and move yourself with friends like everyone else.

Yes, having the cash upfront for a new deposit while waiting for the old one to return is a real liquidity trap. But framing $4,000 as the absolute baseline to escape a rent increase is pure ragebait. It makes the poster sound like someone who has never actually had to do a budget, DIY move.
