Re: [Mpls] My First Apartment

[MJ Mueller]

My first apartment was on the West Bank in Minneapolis in 1977. I shared an 
upper duplex with three guys. The rent was $156/month or $39 each per month 
plus utilities. My second apartment was also on the West Bank in 1979 or so. 
I shared an upper duplex with one other woman. We paid $198/month or 
$99/each plus utilities. I moved to Seward (the suburb of the West Bank) in 
1981 and have lived in the upper part of the duplex I own since. My mortgage 
is almost paid off and is 85% covered by the rent from the tenant on the 
first floor. I feel incredibly lucky to have as affordable of housing as I 
do.

My first apartment was in 1978, an off-campus
efficiency apartment in Detroit and my rent was
$125.00. I worked part-time at the student newspaper.
Don?t remember what I earned, but it wasn?t much,
maybe $80, with temp work in the summer. I do remember
that I had two huge advantages: fairly good savings
(which not everyone has) and Social Security payments
for college since I had a retired parent (which no one
has today).
