Jack in the Box wants to help its customers pay next month’s rent.

As the cost of living continues to increase, mainly due to high inflation, the fast-food company announced it’s helping pay next month’s rent for five lucky customers during its new Mint Mobile Shake promotion.

The new shake is a collaboration between the fast-food company and Mint Mobile, a cellphone company partially owned by actor Ryan Reynolds.

The extra money for rent would help many U.S. residents, especially those in California, who spend an average of 28.74% of their income on rent, according to a study published by Forbes Home. Californians spend the second-highest percentage of their income on rent, the study found.

Hawaii residents spent the most; 42.06% of their income goes towards rent expenses.

The average income for California residents is $76,614, according to the study’s data.

Rent in the Golden State isn’t cheaper either, with research showing that the average monthly rent in 2021 was $1,818.

Rentals in Los Angeles, San Diego and the Bay Area tend to be more expensive.
