Should I get the $500 shitty apartment or the $800 good apartment? Both are in the good part of town. I make 40k a year.
If you're only at 40k then definitely the cheaper. Save your money

shitty apartment, only sleep there and do all business somewhere else.

The good apartment if you ever hope to have a qt gf.
>tfw the only apartments at 500 a month here are in the absolute shittiest part of town where you are GUARANTEED to get robbed

Can't afford to have a gf when you're paying an extra $300 a month for no reason. On a 40k salary, $300 a month is huge.
Cheaper option if renting.

Star small, anon. I never understood the american way of getting poor at a young age just to impress people.

Sometimes you have to invest in yourself OP. My friend are goofy stoners, i know if i live with them i'll get sucked into that. I'm only getting a 7 month lease by myself and im gonna take the time to really focus and get all my shit together.
If the $500 apartment is small, dark and shitty its gonna make you sad so dont do it. If they're comparable, go with the cheaper one.
You're talking about $3600 in the span of a year. You can make that up easily if you try, and you can possibly have a better quality of life.

These things pay for themselves if you're smart.

The suburbs of Reading, PA. One of the poorest cities in America. Poorer than Detroit and Puerto Rico to put how shitty the city is in perspective.

Buy a van and live in it. At least you can resell the van later on.
