Maybe you should try a smaller city... A single individual living in a small house or average apartment can live comfortably with $40-60k in many parts of this great country... I know people around Rochester, NY where I live that live comfortably with less. > I'm seeing rent here in this little Podunk town I call home at 750 per month > minimum. > Problem is, the average wage is 10 bucks an hour max... $750/mo for what? A single-room studio apartment? That's about $300-400 here in Rochester... For $750 you can get a decent 2 bedroom apartment, but at that point, if you have the credit and plans to stay in the area, you might as well get an inexpensive 800-1300sqft house for $80-130k-- and even rent a room to a housemate and cut expenses even more... -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
