I live with my parent too (dad), however I am under obligation to study for my ACT, which I have been neglecting and so he's about to kick me out.
>>67817482
Move to another state, friend.
>>67817482
If you're paying that much It's your own fucking fault you dumbass. I'm sure in the land of the free you could figure out some cheaper alternatives. Stop complaining you man-baby.
>>67817482
wait a minute, how come you pay more for cable than for the internet?
>>67817555
this
>>67817482
>cable is $200 a month
Why would you even need that if you have internet?
>>67817555
this
Why would you pay for both cable and internet, it's current year. And what if you drop the car and start using a bike? Or even a bycicle if you really are having money problems.

fuck realtors.
Even if you get an impeccable payment with a decent job, they steal it all.

BGE is gas and electric. Rain tax is a tax that I ajev to pay every time it rains on my property
>>67817955
Maryland standard of living is higher than any european country and only comes second to maybe a new England state, blame Mississippi for bringing our score so low
>>67817482
>literally have to pay for rain
wow
>>67821016
No, I have to pay when it rains so my state can pay for recycling, green energy, and whatnot, I actually think it's good since I enjoy exceptionally progressive, clean, and beautiful state

What's the median net salary?
>car insurance is $400 a month
>groceries are $100 a month
You're doing it wrong.

>another church can be seen when entering route 1 or a highway
Who knows this maryland feel?
>>67821240
Median household income is close to $70,000 though, most people I know make at least $110,000, Baltimore city really drags us down, everyone here is middle class or upper class
>>67821284
>he drives a shitty car
OP, get a motorcycle. I'm not even joking, a little standard-style 250CC bike is all you need for around town.
I have a Honda CB250 Nighthawk.
I pay $200 in insurance. A year.
I can go 200 miles on 6 dollars worth of gas.
The machine is so damn simple I can do almost all of the routine maintenance myself
it's expensive to start on (you can't, and I repeat, /can't/ skimp on gear) but after that it pays for itself
>>67821341
Traffics a bitch on Sundays since all the churches are full and when church time is over, it takes 15 minutes to wait for people and children to cross the street from church
>>67817482
>>cable is $200 a month
>>67821455
Yea, Maryland is a good place for motorcycles, I actually drive one but you really need a car too

But that's not really that high if we are talking about brutto if you have to pay such high taxes and rents..
>>67821860
Still not as high as other countries, and our taxes are pretty low now
>>67821341

The only thing that sounds reasonable is the groceries, seriously what kinda bait is this?
>>67821086
This could possibly be the single most retarded thing that I have ever heard.
>>67817482
>100 a month on groceries
Either explain yourself or sage this thread.
Move out of that shitty state, you can get a bigger house, not just an apartment, for half that price a month or even close to a third of that.
