Why would you pay rent after buying a house?

They did the math wrong (I did that in a thread recently). $9,740...I'd buy. $9,740 when they're making x < $40k.

Average rent around here is 900-1300 according to the renters I work with.

That’s $10-15.5k.

Those “millenials” must be renting some sweet cribs.

$8k a month in rent.  That's an accurate article... What a bunch of retardation.

Stop eating fucking tidepods, stop spending six hours a day on your phone, and actually do some work and you will have no issue getting a decent place to stay.  Keep working, keep building your resume, and you will find yourself living in a nice place before you know it.  Be willing to commute a half hour to work.

That's real good. Out here rental homes start at $2600/mo if you can find one. In nicer neighborhoods homes usually rent for $3500+ and up. If you look on Craigslist they are people pleading to be find a room to rent in a house and are willing to pay up $1200/mo for a room. Housing/rental prices are crazy and its getting worse.

My mortgage is $390/mo. I pay $150 or less (usually way less) a month for electric and gas. I pay $100/quarter for water.

That averages to like $575/mo, and someday I'll OWN THIS PROPERTY and I'll STOP PAYING FOR IT.

Is there a reason murals want to be seen as retards?

DC area apartments go for around 2-3 K and they are not that big of apartments. The closer to DC you get the higher the cost.  Some people do it so they live a sose to work as possible.

Here are prices in Arlington, VA for townhouse and condo's.

In my area it's very common for people our age to have to pay north of $1,000/month.  I actually don't know anyone who does not unless they have multiple room mates, but even then they are not that far below that level.  Many are closer to or above $2k/month.  In order to get well below those levels I have to be fine with living in a crappy area.  I choose to rent a room instead, as much as I don't like how little space I have and that I can't just bring people over whenever I want to.  But it saves a lot of money compared to an apartment or house and I can stay in a nice and also very conservative area.

$8k/month sounds like someone living downtown or by the beach.  Rents can legitimately get into those figures for a relatively crappy apartment in those areas from what I've heard.  But my State also has a very expensive housing market, for rent or sale.

What the shit? I pay $5400 for a reasomably nice one-bedroom in a duplex-ish place in a college town. Anyone paying $97,400 annually in rent (without extremely high income, not an issue if you're making half a million) has their priorities skewed.

I sort of believe that. For the most part; They want a fully furnished house comparable to what their parents had when they were living there. They do not want "starter" homes or apartments that are less than what they had when they were living with the parents or what their parents were paying for them to live in when they were getting their college educations.

They want the Better Homes and Gardens kitchens, bathrooms, decks and patios with matching appliances, filtered water, within walking distance to public transportation or less than 15 minutes driving time to work.

Their job starts when they get there and ends when they're finished for the day and ready to go home. They want the highest hourly rate possible for their position or the highest salary in the department irregardless of their experience level or training qualifications.

They want it all, they want it now. They want it on their terms. They are very demanding of others and unwilling to give of themselves unless they perceive it to serve a purpose they choose.

They are a very intelligent generation and capable of doing great work and achieving at high levels ...but they are a royal pain in the arse to work with and around.
