End of 2008 start of 2009 I bought a house. It was VERY risky move for me at the time.
Not only has it been a temp house for others that needed help. But with the wild costs of apartments these days I simply don't understand how people haven't just flat out started a revolution over it. There's an apartment complex that opened in my town very recently. The units are much smaller than my house but cost more than double my mortgage. And that's just for where they actually list the price, there's some I'm guessing are so expensive they don't list the price they just say "contact us".
Those of us who would revolt are too tired from working the hours to keep up with rent :( landlord raised mine another $380 this month. I was already using savings to pay for groceries. I'm almost 30 and move back to my parents' home next month.
Sounds like amputees, need not apply to "contact us."
