1300 a month on 40k a year? No. Get a roommate. You also need to be concerned with saving money.

[Hickson517]

ya brah

[cooldudel]

yes.


I moved out after I had $500 leftover from rent, utilities, car.


Best decision I ever made in my life.




( I make a lot more now )

I dont really have any bills....sort of...old car....$80 a week on food and most of (close) friends are still in school.....or moved away.........

.........and im a neat freak...

[PitBillSoxFan]

rough math says you "should" spend 33% on your house/apt

40K is 1,111 a month

If the rent is 1,300 you're in trouble........

[kennny d]

1300 is gonna be more than half your monthly income after taxes.. I'd get a cheaper place or get roomies

What's your job OP?

[Manletbrah1]

I would just keep saving money. Unless I had a gf. Then I would move out.

[EllusioN]

What's your job OP?

entry level finance position

[droolingdonkey]

LOL op my friend used to live in the Avalon apartments near GMU. I'm guessing your friends go to school there?

[BrosephGoebbels]

Just share a place with someone else

[EllusioN]

one of them yes. getting his masters, ask ur friend how that place is

[NATTYPB]

after bills(remember not just utilities but gas,groceries,furniture) you are looking at well over 1500 a month. the smartest thing i did was stay with my parent for 1 year after i got my real full time career. i put almost 40 grand in the bank before i moved into an apt. (cheap with ll utilities included) 5-10 years from now it will make a huge difference!!!

[IANfinity]

I think you should save all you're money for now, and don't move out until you're ready to make a down payment on a house and start paying mortgage. I would never pay to live somewhere without paying for ownership. Obviously, it depends on how your life at home with your parents is though. If you can't stand to live with your parents and you just want to get out, then maybe you should.

other dudes right ur gonna end up spending half your income (after tax) on rent

[BleachedAnus]

you could probably rent a generic house for that much, depending on your location.

[Trapstar4.4]

the fuk?
hellll no

get a roommate. youre going to set yourself up for failure

[EllusioN]

FML.....about to post ad on ********/craiglist.................Looking for Clean Female Roommate........(srs)..............

[Scrote]

I did something similar, making about 40K yr. Used to commute 1.25 hours to work now I live 5 minutes away. Totally worth it, commuting sucks, damn near killed my soul.

[youngb11]

If it's to save a mere 40 minutes (give or take), it isn't worth it. You could wait another two years and have a lot more in saving and move out as your salary - I'm assuming - would have increased.

[TheObjectivist]

this thread pisses me off so much. I cant believe how absurdly cheap it is to rent a place in VA compared to the CA bay area.

feels, fukin awful, man.

[snp1686]

1300 a month for a 1 br apartment? I pay significantly less for a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house with a 15 year mortgage

[droolingdonkey]

one of them yes. getting his masters, ask ur friend how that place is

He lived in a 2 bed/2 bath with a friend. Pretty spacious and I like what you get for the price. He paid about ~800/month for everything.

[irishbarry]

save for a house, its what im doing now..dont buy an apt and throw ur money away,invest it into something atleast

[fantasticoo]

fking retards.

who teh fk would move out and spend 50% of their yearly income RENT ALONE.

you have other bills you know right?

wow how is this even a question.
srsly fk the people of todays day and age, this world is over.
