that rent thing is the biggest head scratcher to me. i have several friends paying over a G for two bedroom luxury apartments in Ballston. if all you are getting is a room, why not just rent a spot in a house for several hundred dollars cheaper?
Disposable income > being broke in luxury...
I can relate to most of this and have a lot of the same thoughts (except I think monogamy can still work but maybe I'm naive ).
Soul mates do not exist. My parents' divorce was actually a good thing because it separated when needed to be away from each other (my mother and father)...
is that why so many small places have a minimum amount (i.e. $5) for credit/debit payments? ... or is that something completely unrelated.
the deli I go to for breakfast says $5 minimum for debit purchases.
it makes some sort of sense...more young people/professionals are flocking to urban areas. rent in a lot of urban areas is increasing.
but paying $800 to live 75 sq. feet. @!%+ that...those 300 sq. feet aren't bad though, but not NY rent prices.
i know for a fact none of the high schools in my area had them ...they were all individual desk with the separate plastic chairs. I do remember the community college I went to used them in some classrooms I'll check there.
i could deal with it, depending on price. I don't really give a %*$* about space, as long as I'm not living in a closet. I don't have many things so that would be doable.
