Man, I wish I only paid $1200 a month for my one bedroom. I’m not even in or around a major city. I’ve looked at moving, but similar units are all the same or higher priced. The only way I could get a cheaper apartment is by renting from a slumlord or having a ridiculously long commute and then I’ll just be spending whatever money I saved in fuel plus those extra hours spent commuting every week are hours I can’t spend doing other things.

Public transport to my last school was something like 4 hours, 3 changes, with a 25 minute walk between one of them. I couldn’t have left early enough to made my first class. It was a 30 minute drive. Parking was free though.
