YourhandMyAss -> RE: Cross your fingers, if we're approved James and I are renting a house!!!!! (2/4/2008 9:58:43 PM)

James has a cell phone we probably won't be getting a land line unless it's for dsl or something, and even then it's only 18 dollars a month for a very basic no thrills phone plan. I'm on SSI and I could very well get more than I do now, because the living situation changed so drastically, of course breathing room is good when you search for a place, so we won't go for the maximum we can afford right away lets say you can afford 12 hundred a month, well that's just a number we know we can go up to if nessisary, not that we're gonna automatically pick a 1200 dollar a month rent right off the bat:)
Ok so we almost did, but it was more space and tons nicer for less than an apartment would be. you're looking at basically 1200 a month for a two bedroom, and 1k a month for 1 bedroom that takes our 30 and 40 pound dog, and then a pet fee a month. And yes, a 2 bedroom is absolutely nessisary and not negotiable in my mind . lol.
My dishnetwork service is only 70 dollars a month and 3 of us are splitting the bill in half so it's only like 20 really. and I got the top 200 channels, comcast in my minds a rip off they want almost 80 bucks for very little.quote:

Total utilities costs like hydro when including heating and cooling, phone, cable, internet services can add up to almost as much as the rent if not more especially in a house so expecting one to earn more than 3 times the rent of a place is pretty reasonable,
So it helps to have enough breathing room to be put away money into savings to help cover you if your income falls for some reason. So if me I would be looking for rentals that are a 1/4 or less of my income
