The Cost Of Living In America
 
Its getting higher by the year.

I live in San Diego, CA and just for an studio apt they charge $ 7 to 800 dollas.

Gas is rising, funny cuz i remember when it was like around $2 dollar margin per gallon. now its almost close to $3.

I am currently thinkin about living in Arizona, its not expensive, but weather can be a bitch..lol

So how u living homey?

Vango 07-03-05 11:27 PM

shit might be worth a look...

^^..^^ 07-04-05 05:35 AM

all you guys crying are herbs and idiots it costs fucking 850 dallors to live in the projects in nyc and studios in manhatten can run 10000 dallors just for a studio

∆ P E X X 07-04-05 06:02 AM

CALI, you're obviously lying. A spot i nthe PJ's ain't no wher near 850, it's like 650.

But I live in NJ where the cost of living is the highest in the nation. So all yall can STFU. The ONLY thing we get cheap here is gas since we've got shitloads of refineries - but that's way out-weighed by the nations highest auto insurance rates due to the high amount of insurance fraud. The fact that we get crappy gas mileage due to having the most people per square mile of any state in the US dosen't help either. There's traffic everywhere and a traffic light every damn 1/4 mile it seems.

An average 1-bedroom here is about 750-900 depending on where you look. That may or may-not include carpet in the unit and utilities included. The spot I'm living in is a 2-bedroom condo and it runs for $1760 a before utilities and "maintainence" which is to pay mofos to cut the grass/rake leaves/shovel snow and the automatic sprinklers to come on and shit like that which is like another 180/mo.

Tha Q. 07-04-05 06:59 AM

Key... 07-04-05 07:26 AM

Damn...ya'll aint joking around!!! and i though CA was expensive fuck...ya'll dont deal wit Tax shit like us

L. Veracity 07-04-05 10:36 AM

ya'll need to move, LMAO...

my mother pays like 850 (that's including insurance) for our mortgage on a 1-story 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house, our living rom cieling is really high, house is over 20 years old, needs a little work but we been here for like 4 years...
water bill is prolly like 25 a month at the most

electric is always high in the summer cuz it's TeXaS and it's FUCKin' hot lmao...prolly like 300 in the summer months...

car insurance, I believe she pays about 75 since it's just her and her driving record is impecable...

it's pretty inexpensive to live here, especially if you buy a house then you get a discount on car insurance if you have your home owner's insurance with the same company and there's all kinds of perks and I dont' believe we pay state taxes here in TeXaS, just county and or city

Sean Gunner 07-04-05 11:04 AM

Living in NC, worst part is the gas cuz you have to travel over the mountains and through the woods.
