Don't mean to sound nosy, but I am amazed at how much housing cost these days. My first real place without tons of room mates...just me and hubby was 295 dollars a month in Panama City, FL. We rented the place in 1985 and it was a one bedroom place. The amount we pay now for housing could have almost rented that place for a whole year....crraaazzzzyyy!

My son was working in a rental we have that was recently vacated....and saw a cockroach that moved in with the last tenants......he didnt even know what it was.......when I told him he said "I thought cockroaches hissed". Dang my kids have had it too good! lol

It amuses me how the min wage is a little over $5 an hour in most places but the average rent a month is over 800 for a 2 bedroom. That is if you do not live in Boston, NYC, Chicago, L.A, Seattle, places like that. Where it can be over 1500 for a nice 1 bedroom.

I got my first apartment in 1997 located in Mn. I paid 310 a month and that was with a garage. It amazes me how they expect 18 year olds to get a place. Maybe thats why there is so many 25 year olds still living with their mama's lol.
