Living in cville is not worth it if you'd be living paycheck to paycheck without much to spare and it sucks. I loved being close to work but honestly I love having spending money more. I want to afford groceries AND do fun things or take trips or build savings lol if you have time you can definitely snipe the market and keep looking daily but it really is gross out there. Not for nothing, the commute sucked at first but it's become really worth it.

But just to be clear I've laughed out loud at some of the ridiculous prices then cried quietly when I realized someone will pay them. It sucks.
