My total rent is $685 a month (including utilities) for a 2 bedroom apartment. The power bill averages around $50 a month. This is split between me and my brother, so it isn't bad at all. Unfortunately we live in a really shit area with a lot of crime. If you ever find yourself in Washington, don't settle for the suburbs of Tacoma.
What part of Washington do you live in? This seems really high. I have friends who pay far less and live on Capitol Hill and other nice parts of Seattle.
ahahaha
I'm actually going to tacoma in april to see my bud, gonna get a hotel or something I think.
My brother is talking about trying to rent a place soon. There is some guy living with us who is mentally unstable and can't live on his own but he gets 1000$ a month disability and my mom is trying to get him kicked out because she's a mean bitch. So we're thinking about renting a place for under 1000$ a month so I can pay a little under half and the guy can pay the other half and my bros gonna take care of him plus pay for food and utilities or whatever.
So I might move out in a little while I dunno for sure yet.
