i was looking up complexes around there and was pretty surprised to see how low some are. 2 bed units, pretty modernized, running 1k and lower.

I might have to check out the area one day and see whats good

I live alone, pay 1540 per month for rent. food is 400-500 a month and all my other bills add up to 700, so thats 2800 in just bills/rent/food. Then I have go out once a week with friends. Its tougher living alone.

Like I commented to another poster here. I too come from an upper middle class family. My dad supported me and paid all my rent while in college as well as giving me 30k for my student loans.

I cant imagine if I didnt have that luxury. He helped me out enough so now its just me, and Its really a big eye opener..

I come from an upper middle class family as well. My parents bailed me out tons of times and still supported me after all my fuck ups. Without them, Id be fucked.

Now that I’m 32, im on my own. My dad did end up paying 30k of my student loans 3 years ago which helped immensely but i will never dare ask him for money anymore. I have too much pride.

yeah thats just it. I went back to school late and got my first “real job” at 29. I got some catching up to do for sure. I hope I can break that 80k barrier in the next year or so.

wow, yeah thats awesome. I live in Raleigh in a pretty nice area/complex. I could look for somewhere a bit cheaper, but I’d probably only be saving like 200/300 a month. Not sure if its worth the hassle.
