The only thing messy about me is my bun

Imagine paying $1500 a month with a 40K salary...

There is a reason foster care has gained such a questionable reputation. A lot of people play the system to make some extra money off these kids. One 33-year-old man recounted his troubled upbringing in foster care, where he was asked to leave at 18 due to the end of a paid fostering scheme by the local council. His ‘parents’ would no longer benefit from him. He decided to leave one month after he turned 17 to save them the trouble. Fortunately, he led a good life after that, bought a flat, and…

Life's hard for us all

Classic landlord move

Everybody has had a bad roommate; if you haven't, you're probably the bad roommate. It is not that hard to clean up after yourself, communicate, and be considerate of the people you live with, yet many people struggle with it. I've heard so many roommate horror stories through the grapevine that are almost hard to believe. Somebody I know lived with someone who peed in the kitchen sink, and she walked in on him doing it. If you are wondering, yes, there were dishes in the sink. I have also hear…

Listen, there's nothing inherently wrong with a parent asking their adult offspring for rent money, but if that kid decides to move out as a result, the parents can't get mad. In the case of redditor u/LetterheadMaterial93 , it's not like she wasn't contributing around the house.

But when OP started buying nice things for herself with the money she earned at her job, her siblings started getting…

As someone who has lived in New York City for my entire life, I am used to the rent being ridiculous. But that doesn't mean I'm cool with it. Every time I move it's to another tenement-like apartment and farther from “civilization.” It's frustrating, as a native, to be pushed out of your own neighborhood. But this is where the jobs are, and where my friends and family are, so I deal with it. Lately I've been hearing that it's actually cheaper to live in Manhattan than Brooklyn - a claim I can o…

I'm not saying I'm depressed or anything, but a million dollars sure would help in that department

Unbelievable

Roommates from hell.

Imagine living like this

Maybe my landlord with accept Kohl's cash this month?

“If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.” There's definitely some truth to this lyric about New York City . Frank Sinatra wasn't wrong. But…do you really want to? As a native New Yorker, I often find myself asking if it's worth it. The rent keeps going up and my apartment isn't getting any bigger or nicer. There are tons of people gentrifying every neighborhood that has any personality, pushing out its residents that have lived there for years. The commute is both frustrating (the MT…
