Dunno man, I love little pops or orange or teal.

Gorgeous. Wish I could afford a loft in NYC

>>8522025
I live in turtle bay and its pretty sweet

>>8522007
My one goal in life is pretty much just get enough money to do that.

>>8521654
It's fine, but you really want to fold it up every day?

>>8522040
>>8522025
If you spend some time finding an apartment you can get one for a good price, don't go online, get a broker or a friend to help

a roommate is also great
I live with one other person in a 2 bedroom and I pay $1800 and he $1500, which is a pretty reasonable expense if you make at least 50k

I rate your tastes pleb out of 10.

Seriously tho you are at least ahead of IKEA, Target etc. But if you can move up to Room + Board, BoConcept, DWR etc for a piece here and there you'll make better investments.

>>8522053
>if you make at least 50k
I make 30k

What do you do, and can I do it too?

>>8522007
thats your apartment?

>>8521934
Literally smaller than my closet.
>>8521981
Goddamn that's nice.
>>8522053
You're paying more than half of your income(after taxes) for rent. That doesn't seem reasonable.
>>8522058
Get out of the service industry and find a job that matters/produces things. That's where the money is.

>>8522142
> find a job that matters/produces things

What do you mean product things? I work shitty retail 50 hours+ a week, but I also produce music for indie games but it pays literally nothing.

>>8522147
>doing work for free
>wants to make more money
Are you a dimwit? If your skills are in demand then they should never be free. Charge for your music and find a job out of the service industry, like I said. Retail is in the service industry.
>What do you mean product things?
I said PRODUCES things. Learn2Read.

>>8522165
what do you do anon?

>>8522170
I'm an editor for Disney Studios.

>>8522179
how old are you? And who do I have to fuck to get a job like that?

>>8522195
I'm 26. And you need to have knowledge of and training for editing to get a job like mine. I studied software design for 2 years in high school in a technical training program and went to community college for 2 years to study Digital Media. Then I just applied everywhere that made sense and chose the job with the best benefits.

>>8522233
right on

>>8521934
To be honest, I like his apartment better than the retard with the small house (I believe it was the same youtube channel)

Dear God, why?

>>8522312

Good economy, low crime, decent public transportation, rent still isn't as terrible as New York, Boston, or San Francisco, easy access to hiking and camping.

>>8522142
>You're paying more than half of your income(after taxes) for rent. That doesn't seem reasonable.
well I live in NYC, its generally accepted that a more significant portion of your income goes towards housing, especially because I don't need a car, have no house/lawn maintenance, etc.

>>8522058
I make more than that but my roommate is a fashion buyer for a few boutiques in NYC and he makes around 55k a year and lives quite comfortably

we went to NYU together and he studied creative marketing and love poetry or some stupid shit

>>8522300
how is Seattle? I live in Victoria, I hear its very similar.

>>8522315
A bunch of friends and I want to move up there or a neighboring city from Phoenix. Sounds so fucking nice.

>>8522321
> fashion buyer for a few boutiques in NYC and he makes around 55k a year and lives quite comfortably

how the fuck do you get THAT job??

>>8522373
the same way every one of us got our jobs, people we met during internships and other random shit

>>8522376
true

>>8522312
bc seattle is sick

i live here and housing is hella expensive but other than that and traffic its awesome

>>8522394
If you're cool with expensive housing and shitty traffic then just move to Los Angeles. LA at least has nice weather and a great food scene.

>>8522415
well the housing costs and traffic are still better than LA, but I'd still prefer seattle. closer to nature, i don't mind the mild drizzly weather, and summers are amazing.

Stay away from the areas of town they dominate. I live in West Hollywood, work north of there, spend time with my girlfriend in Silver Lake pretty often, and occasionally go to Malibu to hit the beach with friends. I don't have to interact with the underclass very often at all.
>>8522428
Dude, LA has amazing beaches, exhilarating hiking, is only a short-ish drive from gorgeous forests, an afternoon's drive from skiing, and has more sunny days than Miami. Seattle is the suicide capitol of America because it rains all the time and doesn't get enough sunshine.
Seriously, fuck Seattle. Worst 2 months of my life were in Seattle, working on a shitty TV show that never even made it to air.

>>8522502
...what in the fuck am I looking at?

I don't like exposed brick. I like clean, minimalist design with calming colors and smooth finishes.
