Lolol. The MidWest is so cute. Couldn't get a cardboard box in an alley for $675

Its a wonderful place to live

 

Low crime

 

Good "folks"

 

Warm community

 

Solid schools with  tons of after school programs and rec league sports. The communities take great pride in their children and support them be it a band show, a play, a baseball game a debate team. Children develop sense of pride and community.

 

Decent jobs that pay a wage people can live on.

 

If that is "cute" I love me some "cute"

You should see the South.  I rent 900 square foot,  2 BR/1 Bath for $600/month.  Not super nice area but not terrible.  

 

Yep, I was in Birmingham for the last 4 years.  

 

Had a top notch 1400 sq ft 2/2 condo for 1150.  This place was NICE, and in the nice part of town.

 

It's nuts down south.  I love it.

Right now? 60% more or less...

 

Utilities extra 20%. So 80% all in all.

 

Very tight. 2nd job will lower that to 25% more or less.

 

Wow.  That's a lot. 

 

A lot of things you read suggest 30% of gross.  All depends on where you live though I guess.

 

I'm looking at a place that is 15% of my gross.

You're missing my point. I never said it wasn't a nice place. I've visited. It was nice. I think it's just funny.

Well the condition for me to move to the 3rd floor studio at my family's property is to pay 50% of the monthly payment for the loan they took to build the 2nd and 3rd floors. My bro pays the other 50%. Cable and internet is shared.
