test pattern Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Originally posted by vinyl junkie i don't know if out of towners know this, but rent in the bay area is rediculous... $500-$600 for a small studio apartment... and i have no money... i think i'm gonna ask if i can live at my work for a while, while i find a full time job and then save for a security deposit... although, so far i have found a couple of places in the area i want to live in saying they have a room for free or very cheap in exchange for a couple of days of childcare a week... but that means i can't get a full time job... but we'll see... oh, and i'm going to a stupid job fair tomorrow... it's at 9 am, and i have to get up early to copy resumes... ugh... A small studio apartment is one of my dream homes. Heh. You think $500-600 is bad?? About 5 years ago I used to live in an apartment and it was $900-1000 for a two bedroom. They were relatively shitty apartments, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest --zeSto-- Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 whatever kiddies! the longer you take to grow up... the harder your wakeup call will be. The standard rent calculator is 1 weeks pay per month. When I moved out from my Dad's place, I was paying $600 a month. Granted the place was $2200 a month, but I paid one weeks pay. That's fair. and honestly guys... Living at home is not a good thing. Even with very few rules and the run of the house, you've got to be able to do your own thing. so take a step away from your mommy's tits, and get a job!

Free room, some internet access, shared shower and all that... all i gotta do is take care of her kid twice a week...

Guest --zeSto-- Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I didn't mean to push any buttons. I'm not taunting anyone for "You live with your Moms!" but there's a great sence of satisfaction in Living Solo. Sure you can move into a flop and pay $100 a month, but it's not worth it. for example... 6 guys in one house, then 2 girfriends move in. That's %150 a month rent, but no one could take control and pay for the utulities. and because... "living with 2 people doubles the cost of living alone" they ended up owing over $2000 for hydro, cable and phone in the first 6 months. and then try telling a flop house crew to pay tripple the rent for one month... whoa!

vinyl junkie Posted May 22, 2002 Author Share Posted May 22, 2002 you're not pushing any buttons at all, i totally understand you... It's just that it's kinda sudden... and i'm totally broke... if this free room doesn't work out i'm very seriously considering asking if i can live at my work while i save up for a security deposit... belive me, i'd rather live on my own, but working enough to pay for a place and going to school at the same time just doesn't work for me... and i was back in school for a while... oh well... time to cover up the tattoos and go look for a job... wee!
