We bought a house specifically to avoid having to deal with these kind of rent hikes.

This. My wife didn't want to. She wanted to go the apartment route. Very glad we didn't. Bought the house in 2008, and we are well more than half paid. Should have it done by the end of the decade.

I pay less than $800 for the mortgage for a 3 bedroom house in literally one of the most expensive states in the country. Its not the biggest, but its ours and we have our own space. Don't have to worry about any of that BS. We did have to replace the roof, but thankfully that's it.

I have. The first time I got one I didn't know what the hell was wrong. The pain to me is almost indescribable. It hurts, but its a different kind of pain. I have broken bones, crushed discs in my back, separated my shoulder, and this was very different. Probably because the broken bones were understandable as to why I had pain. The kidney stone I didn't know what was wrong.

I sucked up the pain, finished what I was doing at my job for a few more hours, then had my wife bring me to the hospital.

I will say a bit of warning, and a bit disgusting to some. I do not take pain meds for anything that has ever happened until the kidney stone. (My mom accidentally overdosed when I was 14). So when I took these meds, whatever they gave me and a shot of morphine, things got better....until 3-4 days later when they caused a massive block and severe constipation. This hurt more than the kidney stone! I didn't know this could be a side effect. Sometimes its constipation, diarrhea, other things or nothing at all. So be careful!
