So as most of you know we moved back to Massachusetts.
Welp. I'm making more money than I have made in a while. More than double what I was making before, and I CAN NOT find an apartment I can get and afford.
We are talking one bedrooms for $2800/mo. And these are not luxury.. these are like apartments that where $950 when I left 5 years ago.. Decent neighborhood and town is only up from there. A house in the town I'm staying in would be $6000 a mo +
I'm looking daily. Every decent looking apartment that seems only extremely over priced is a scam. $50 for an application fee, another $50 for a credit check, and then there are the ones that want you to subscribe to a credit service.. the ones that are out of town and just want you to wire a downpayment..
It's NUTS!!
Add on two dogs and not great credit.. insane.
Is that just here? Are you guys seeing the same? Any advice here?
Paying 30-40-50 grand a year for an apartment with AFTER TAX money is absolutely bonkers. Where are people living who work for xYZ corp and make $50k??!
It worse $12.50/hr at Wendy's??
How does this end?
