$600-800 covers rent where I live

Although if you go 20-30 miles south it becomes $400 to $600.

Move.

I pay $1250 a month for mortgage (principal, interest, property tax, home insurance, PMI) and utilities. It's an 1800sqft 3 bed 3 bath house with attached two car garage.

Why people willingly choose to live somewhere that you need to earn six figures to be considered not in poverty has always confused me but then again I've never tried it out myself. Maybe the pros of living there outweigh the cons of how much it costs.


Most people cannot just up and move.

You also compromise a lot to live in the less expensive areas of the U.S. In the more rural, less modernized areas you sacrifice food, culture, niche friends (like an astronomy club or D&D club), conveniences, entertainment, better job opportunities, etc.

Those things aren't a big deal to everyone, but to a lot of people they are.

D&D isnt a big deal to anyone.

Used to live in an area where $2k got you a shit place in a shit area.

Now $1200 altogether gets me something a lot better in a beautiful area.

Not everyone can just pack their shit & slide into a well paying job in another state & immediately buy a home my guy. Some of us have families & obligations & what not this is always a laughable response.


I did. Went to a place I had pretty much never been to an area where I definitely had never been. Got some jobs lived in small apartments and less than a few years later buying a house. With a wife and two kids.

over 10k a year when you make 40k is not nothing. That's over 1/4th of my salary just on rent, not including utilities.

I'm aware it's more ridiculous in big cities, but that's just highway robbery.

Wtf welcome to life. That's actually great you square.
