UpwardForward Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Great idea Arabella. That was going to be my next suggestion. To look into downsizing. I don't know how much apartments go for there, but hopefully you can get something for $1200.? Link to post Share on other sites
pink_sugar Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Sorry to hear about that AB, but it sounds like it was for the best. I hear you about apartment leases. I finally found an apartment in my area that does month-to-month without any insane extra costs. I really did not like being on a lease at all...I like the freedom to move if or whenever I am able for any reason. Link to post Share on other sites

Here in the Boston area (and I'm not even talking about the actual city, just the surrounding neighborhoods), you won't find a two-bedroom for anything less than $1400/mo in a place where you feel relatively safe and your commute into the city is an hour or less. I honestly don't really like living here all that much, but it's a good place to develop a career so we're staying for the time being. :/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

One bedrooms are $1400 minimum unless you happen to find something with a great deal, otherwise anything cheaper is in a not so great area. Paid $1500 for a two bedroom once and the area was very spotty....moved out immediately once we had a break in while were on vacation. Link to post Share on other sites
