Maybe that new apartment you're looking at is nice, but what about a planet all to yourself? Maybe that's a bit of a fantasy, but consider for a minute if you could actually go live there right now in 2013. This infographic takes that possibility seriously for a moment and forecasts the [costs of living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takehomepaycity) on Mars. For instance, watching the most popular [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dangbei-mars) video of all time, Gangnam Style, would cost you over $37,000. It would actually be cheaper if you called home for a few minutes, because a one minute call would cost just over $200.
