Monthly Bills (splitting from efeezy's thread)

[Refrozen]

So I just spent the past hour looking at property listings for some of the places you guys live in... fuck that. I'm never moving from the mid-west... you guys are getting raped.

If I spent $1,600/month I'd be living in a nice 6-bedroom home: executive home for lease/rent

Most of you guys get boxes.

Wow. That place is impressive for that price. Here you'd be looking at $3500-$4500 or more.

Meh , in my town , $650/mo is the norm for a 3br home , while apartments and smaller homes are cheaper.........Midwest is a different world.

In my case, the 375 is for a 3 bedroom house, but the market here is a bit higher.
I got a landlord that promised he would never raise my rent, and he hasn't so far.

my HEALTH insurance alone for my family is 1/2 your highest option.

I'm guessing most of you don't have kids.

How did you not see that this was bumped from like a year and a half ago?

 

[galacon]

I saw this, but I couldn't figure out HOW the fuck it got bumped...

The last poster was doc785 on 8/19/09 when I looked at it an hour ago???

I was gonna dickroll the idiot for bumping this antique, then I was like WTF?
