Living on your own?

IP:

Rent or own?

What do you live in?

How much is your rent/mortgage, utilities, etc?

What kind of shit do you buy for groceries and shit?

I am renting a two bedroom apartment fully loaded with appliances, everything's brand new and refinished. I pay $650 a month, and the only utility I have to pay is electrical.

I honestly save money and go with cheaper brands of groceries...all depending what it is.

Anybody else?

Yours is Canadian dollars right?

$300.00 USD a month here. Renting from family. It's a really good deal and that's why I haven't moved yet lol.

I have free usage of utilities and I keep it simple so I'm less than 40 bucks a month groceries. Bread, chicken, mustard, veggies, fruits. I occasionally share a home cooked meal by my step mother, but I'm not on good terms with her because she has a 22 year old daughter that lives here that doesn't pay rent and it pisses me off. Considering my dad is in debt and neither his wife or his wife's daughter pays for shit..

Might move out after this year. It's like $400 US +utilities. The student apartments are like, $400 including utilities, high speed internet, cable, etc... But you share the living room. Get your own room and bathroom though.

It's actually Alberta specifically thats so expensive, as far as I know. People from everywhere in the country come here for the money.

A house that would cost $250,000 plus in Alberta would cost $50,000 in Nova Scotia, for example.

Inflation is crazy here.

that's true. shit here is a lot cheaper. i'm moving into an apartment in Halifax Sept 1st, it's a 2 bedroom apartment, comes wif a new oven n a fridge and all that shit, and everythang in tha bathroom is gonna be brand new. im sharing a room wif my brother, my rent will b like $291.17 a month, n we're gonna git free wireless internet, so besides rent all we gotta pay fo is power.

as fo groceries, tha only kind of shit i will buy fo groceries is pasts n extremely cheap shit like that. 33 cents fo a box of mac n cheese, or i'll go to tha reduced food. im cheap as fuck n dont like spending money on food. ima prolly be gittin my job back at mcdonalds as a janitor, so that's gonna take care of my food, i used to just walk in one of tha big freezers n fill up a garbage bag n then "take out tha garbage" n give it to my brother n he'd run it back to tha apartment. a lot went bad cuz we couldnt even fit it all in tha fridge. but i never had to buy groceries fo tha rest of tha time i lived there, lol. werd

Right, and in the states it may seem cheap, but that's because the certain states that people live in, pay less money. So you get less money thus the whole state lowers the cost of the rent, because it's not like anybody can rent if they're making less money than you expect.

So take for example California, where the minimum wage is higher than a majority of the rest of the country, their renting will be 2 or 300 dollars more at least, than a regular state that rents $500.00-$600.00 a month.. So you're looking at $800.00 USD for a good deal in California.. $500.00 USD in cali would be under "extremely good", if it's a good place, but it probably wouldn't be.

It all depends on what you're looking for, where it's at, the current house prices in the area, how much money you make in minimum wage jobs, etc.

yeah ur right..cuz in boston a 2000 usd 2 bedroom apartment..is only 800 usd dollars in rhode island (thats what im moving into now.) electric bill in boston is like 250-300 a month..in rhode island is like 60-100 bucks....now in boston u could make a nice 22 bucks an hour plumbing (2nd year apprentice) but in rhode island ill only make like 15 dollars an hour....so in the long run it equals out i guess.
