I pay $1050 a month for a 1500 sq. ft. house with a 2 car garage and a yard.

I know, this area is rich old white people bullshit.

Holy shit guy. Minot is expensive af because of the oil boom, but that's along the lines of $600-800/mo for a 1 bed 1 bath apt.

Fargo is dishing out 2 bed 2 bath apt w/ dishwasher, balcony, single car garage units (at a minimum), sometimes even with a washer and dryer in the unit for that same $600-800 AND cat friendly.

But it seems that in most places the housing market is still quite fucked. America; a land where you can have thousands of empty homes and outstanding homelessness.

I wish I could get a 1BR for $600 in Wicker Park, I really do....if you want to pay that low in Chicago have fun living in Engelwood

I'm telling you guys, Omaha is where its at. Cheap housing (Houses are going for 130-140k in my neighborhood), plenty of tech and financial sector jobs.

[Didzo]

I pay $1K a month for a 1 bed 1 bath and people are really surprised at how little I'm paying.  :-X

[Kor]

$530 for a 600 sq. ft 1 Bedroom, water/heat included.

I'm done gloating now.

[FlyingMongoose]

$635 a month 2 bed 1 bath but no utilities included still the best price we were able to find in our area.

I'm paying $800 for a 1 bedroom but it's five minutes from work so I'm happy.

[StolenToast]

I pay $1100/mo for 670sqft, but that comes with a lot of perks so I think it's worth it.

[Greatbacon]

I pay $733/month to split a 3 bedroom in Boston, but compared to similar price/quality/location/perks in the city it's a steal.

Buuut I'm moving back to CO at the end of the summer anyway so...

[Xineoph]

My mortgage is $612 a month for an 850 sq. ft. house.

[Vlambo]

850/month for 2 bedroom basement apartment in middle of the city. Separate entrance and driveway. It's solid. And I split the rent with my GF, so It's only 425/month

[FlyingMongoose]

I almost feel like we should make a thread exclusively for this, also remember Vlambo is canadian, they use monopoly money up there :p this makes his ACTUAL rent around ~675 USD.

[Eightball]

$975/mo for a 650sq ft (advertised as 800sq ft) 1-bedroom in a city with a normally low cost of living :\

Got moving apathy. Wanna move, not motivated to go through the trouble atm.

except he was likely paying same amount/a little less before the cdn economy got shat on

Paypal Account Hacked Yesterday
Fucker took $3,459
Showed up as a transaction in my bank today.

Good news, my Paypal is only associated with Debit/Checking, it was still under "Pending transactions", was able to issue stop payment and set my account to "Credit Only" (no withdrawals allowed), they also cancelled my debit card and are sending a new one.

Talked with Paypal support, Paypal account credited this amount "Just in case" (but can't touch it until the 'dispute' is resolved).

I currently have less than no money, but the fucker ain't getting shit anyway. Gotta wait a while for these things to process properly so I can't buy a damn thing for probably a few weeks, but I definitely did a fuckton of 2FA enabling and password changing (Each password is a minimum of 130-bits with every character type whatever my log in system supports, and they are stored in an encrypted file using both a password AND an encrypted key [with backups] and of course security question changes) the last 2 days.

Of course at every institution I talked to that can view my activity logs I could say; "Look at my transaction history and now look at this one... is this normal for me?" pretty much everyone goes "Nope, we'll work with you on it."

TL;DR; Paypal Hacked, Paypal Support and Bank both Awesome, will be fine, but temporarily really fucking broke.

I'm somewhat surprised that paypal even allows withdrawals from the bank of that size, I try to keep mine under $600-800 and whenever enough Etsy purchases stack up I dump it all back into my checking.
