    My rent is $600-$700 a month in a two bedroom condo in MD. My roomie has a mortgage on it, and since he's my best friend, I decided to help him out a little bit. Its kind of pricey, but ehh. Also, he does most of the chores (wash dishes, take out garbage, clean) since he owns it, so I can't really complain.

    That is how it is in a place which isn't in the fucking midwest. I know that in places like Flint and Detroit you can get a room in a stinking tenement for ten dollars a year but that is not how we roll in civilization.

    I have a friend who has a place in NYC, right on Time Square basically. Two bedroom, amazing view, great location, pretty tiny and cozy, $50,000 a year not including utilities. I think she may be overpaying a bit.

    Not really. In NYC, she's pretty much guaranteed that somebody else would come along within 2 days and buy it if she put it up for sale, no matter what she asked for it. Thats what way the housing market in NYC works. Its a fantasy land.

    Well, if you're talking about buying a house you can't get ANYTHING even remotely reasonable in Northern NJ for less than 300K. A mortgage on that amount is pretty high too, like 1800 with taxes and insurance and stuff.

    I'm pretty much stuck in the loop of trying to save money, only to throw 475$ / month down the toilet in rent.

    I really envy people who can swallow their pride after college and just move back in with their parents. Paying no rent allows you to save a shitload of money, much faster.

    Sadly, no. That's where we store the cat food and Natasha's sewing equipment.

    A couple of apartments ago I had an opium den complete with pillows covering the ground and a low table with candles and a hookah.

    Unfortunately Shoe killed that dream.

    Man, shoe, Man.

    No opium den is complete without hot asian chicks passed out all willy nilly wearing just their underwear. I would have volunteered, but you know, that dream is dead.

    I love rooms like that, reminds me of college. At our senior year house, we had an unfinished basement that only had a washer/dryer, one lamp, a beer pong table, a huge couch we found on the side of the road, and a hookah.

    Now that that's taken care of, yeah... Opium dens need passed out asian chicks in skimpy underwear or skin-tight latex chinese style dresses.

    Even without the den you can come over and provide for that need, Lost.

    Its ok, i'll break your graham crackers when it is s'mores time.

    God, now I want s'mores in the worst way possible, all getting chocolate on my hefty face.

    yeah I pay $400 every two weeks for my 900 sq ft house with a finished basement, which makes it effectively an 1800 sq ft three bedroom two bathroom house, and at that rate I make 2 extra payments a year off the principle.

    I am gonna set something like that up next month. Where half the payment just comes out every paycheck automaticly and am going to pay a bit more so mine will get paid off earlier.

    Not really for the area.

    It's a little more expensive than we COULD get in Baltimore. If we wanted to live in a shit neighbourhood with a shit landlord.

    But we don't want either of those so we pay a little (only a very little) extra. Which is actually made up for due to the "utilities being included" thing, which is awesome.

    Man, for a 4 bedroom tiny house in Mongtomery County we were paying $1650.

    Yeah we're probably going to go and up the payment from 400 to 425 per paycheck and take another $650 off the principle each year.

    Doesn't sound like much, but taking $1200 off your principle every year above what you are already paying ends up taking like 5 or 6 years off your amortization (sp)
