and therein lies the problem. ya'll wanna live in the big city but got lil town wages.
NT entitlement for ya. You can be going to a city that's growing and pay far less in rent and still get paid comparatively to what you're being paid in the big city.
1200 for a studio :x ....
Whats the 2 BR? 1600? 1800? :x :x.........
Could be paying a 3rd of that and have your own spot and putting money away for your FUTURE.
But here's the classic rebuttal LA, NY > ___________. "It's worth it brah". As a native NYer, no, it's really not.

Sue me for liking a residency program in a big city.
I guess it's also my fault for wanting to practice here when I'm done so choosing to make connections

So, I need to move to a completely different city, uproot my life, find a new job, leave all my friends and family behind to get my own spot, while I'm perfectly happy doing what I do living how I live, stacking bread for my future....so an NTer will respect me as a man? Regardless of me going to school, regardless of anything else I have to deal with...

thats fine, you've got a plan. not everyone on NT does and are living paycheck to paycheck just to live in the big city.
to me that's asinine. but y'know what? if you're going to college, networking, interning, have a career lined up I understand there's an opportunity cost to all that.
some NTers just wanna live the big city life and that's asinine to me.

again if you're saving and going to school, you're fine.
but if you're living check to check plus got student loans to pay off on the horizon, and you still want to live in the big city, and you weren't saving bread, that'd be an issue.

some people HAVE to live in a big city and have to pay the larger cost of living.
I am from orange county in a small city called Westminster, i moved to West LA when i started my career because I HAD TO, my type of work requires alot of trips back and forth to the hospital because i take alot of call hours.
if it was up to me, i would still be at home stacking and saving but i am actually kind of glad i moved out now.
no roommates here just my son and my girl.
cost of living in LA is redic, but i make a decent income and am very simple and really dont spend crazy amounts of money.
save alot towards my future home downpayment, add to my sons college savings, and invest into my retirement portfolio.
BUT I DO SEE ALOT OF ASPIRING ENTERTAINERS (actors, actresses, singers, comedians) that come out to LA to "make it"
they all work reg jobs like restaurant waiters, starbucks bartista, or retail but they cram like 4-5 people into a 1-2 bedroom with dreams of catching that big break
kind of annoying because LA is crowded as is, and i feel that if you move to a big city, THERE should be a reason to....not just because you WANT to...BUT IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, then DO YOU

I guess if you all are strangers then sure
But me and my room mate just split it even. We've known each other tho and don't really argue about the rooms when we moved in. Not that big of a deal

If it's a place we find together from the start and decide who gets the master bedroom with private bathroom, it'll have to be split differently.
If it is my own place and I offer you or a stranger to be my roommate, that person is paying half.

What an idiot. To make a statement like that assuming he knows everyone's situation. If this isn't telling, his only supporter is superb. Sneakerheathen is another big mouthed idiot.

People usually continue their college career past 22 (med, law, pharm, dental, grad) and that's given you even complete undergrad at 22 which is hard enough if you're a STEM major.

You're absolutely right. Good point. It's different for everyone but I think it's most contingent on when you start working full time and what your salary is. For my particular situation, I plan to be have my own spot when I'm around 26.
