re: renting rant.

Quoting kthx.:" I'd cry if my rent/mortgage was $1k   The house I posted is only $130k."

I rent an apartment. 3 bedroom, 2 bath. 1700 a month. Sigh, haha. You almost can't touch property here for less then 200k to buy, at least if it's in an okay area.

Sure, if you want to live in Fontana, or Ontario, or crappy areas like that you can get cheaper, but not anywhere nice.

It makes me sooooo jealous when I look at house prices from other states. I watch house hunters and want to cry, haha.

Quoting GrumpsMama.:" I was talking about renting, lol, theres no taxes or insurance. Just rent and utilities "

Renter's insurance.

Quoting kthx.:" I'm gonna try and find a house with that kind of payment, and show you the difference lol one sec."

I was looking for something 1,600 with atleast 4 or more bedrooms...I found nothing

Quoting sταrry skies:" Renter's insurance."

hmm, we've never had to pay renters insurance.

Kimber... this is $1770 a month. About $100 more than your SIL but close enough  











'Das rich livin' ova hea

Some places it isn't a requirement. But it can be a good idea. We have never purchased renters insurance either.

Quoting GrumpsMama.:" We never pay over like 550/month to live in the apartment with utilities. lol It's a 2bd 1/bath. "

We pay $690 for a 2bed, 2 bath. But that includes water, and internet/cable. We only have to pay electric.

Holy smurf balls.

That's crazy!! Let me go walk around my tiny apartment now where I pay about that much. haha

That's like our monthly income. We could never afford to pay more then like 700, WITH a roommate lol

Lol, no kidding!

Some people pay that amount to rent a basement suit here...

Quoting Kimber-lily:" Lol, no kidding! Some people pay that amount to rent a basement suit here... "

Seriously. It's nuts! Whenever I complain though my husband sets me straight. I'll say "Look, we could afford like a MANSION in Kentucky." Then he says "Yes, but then you'd have to live in Kentucky."

He's right. As much as I hate house prices here, I do love living here. I guess it's worth the trade off.
