My wife and I pull in about $85k a year, give or take.
We both had to withdraw all of our (admittedly limited) savings (about $4k) and use about every dime of our paychecks to move a couple of weeks ago. The movers cost us $500. First month’s rent plus another for a deposit (bad credit - bankruptcy due to a failed business) was $2,600. Then we still had to pay our old apartment about $1,100 for the last month of rent. Oh, and the $250 deposit for the movers. Also the fact that we couldn’t really cook in the last week because we needed the kitchen in the old place clean.
But I’m saving $25/month on our internet because I’m poor, so I’ve got that going for me. And the new place is 33 sq. ft. bigger and has a garage for the same price as the old place.
I’m in Austin, TX.
