So, I see alot of people complaining about how expensive it is to get crappy apartments in California, or other places around the USA, so I just wanted to post a thread with the opposite news. I am graduating from college next week and got a job and all and was looking at one bedroom apartments around where I will be working. And as it turns out If you want a 1 bedroom apartment its $300-$450, yes thats right the FANCY ones are $450 (I'm sure fancy is a relative term here 😛), and you can get 2 bed 2 bath duplex and stuff for under $500 a month. I just sorta thought that was funny. And to buy a 4 bedroom house they are going for like $150,000. So I guess maybe when all those people post threads about how $100,000 isn't enough to get by maybe they should move over here 😛.

The place in question is Athens TN btw, its like 80 miles from any real city which sux, but at the same time I'll be making $60,000 a year and paying $400 a month for rent 😛.

Well, there you go. 🙂

I'm two hours from Green Bay, WI (closest "large" city). It's really not that bad, you find things to do or make things to do. If I thought about it, if I lived in Houston where I'm working now, what would I do different? Nothing, besides have more places to eat. I'd still hang out with my friends and do the same ol shit probably.

yeah, well how many women you think live in a crapy little redneck town like this 🙁?

There are dozens but they all look alike............Wait thats because they are mother/daughter/sister/cousin

It is all about location and what you want out of it.

I could have had an enormous house back home with land and anything else (within reason) I wanted for what I paid for my condo. However having the nation's 3rd largest city on my doorstep affords opportunities that outweigh the cost IMO.

As a minority it helps to live in the city. If I lived in that hickville I would:

*Miss Korean food all too bad. I bet the only 'ethnic' food the town has is the crappy 'Chinese' take out type food and Taco bell.

*Probably get stared at wherever I go.

*WTF is there to do in TN seriously? I live close to Boston, I can...
-Hit up free promotional party nights across most bars,
-Attend culture shows
-Theater (Blue Man Group, Phantom, etc)
-Dine at Top of the Hub enjoying the breathtaking skyline view of Boston
-Museums, museums and museums: (GF loves this) of Science, Fine Art, Contemporary Art, etc. There are always shit happening in the city.
-People seeing, sight seeing in Boston Common
-Red Sox (Going to the game tonight actually!), Celtrics, Bruins and Patriots
-ALWAYS STUFF TO DO.

For the record I pay an amazing $420 for rent and my room is fvcking enormous. Similar to what you pay + all the fun benefits

Haha! One of my Korean friends used to have to work somewhere in one of the Carolinas a lot as part of his consulting job. People stared at him and asked a bunch of stupid questions. "You're Korean? WTF is that? It's a country? Huh?"

He eventually got sick of it and just started saying he was Hawaiian.

I had a dumbass hick cop pulled me over once (right 30 mins outside of Boston too!!! WTF) and asked me what nationality I was. He comes back and says, "What's Korea? Is that Vietnam? I didn't see it on the drop down menu." Dumbass 40K-for-life idiots.

<-- Dude this is another Korean who met a cop that thought Korea was Vietnam (see above). If you are white, you seriously don't know what minorities go through and just how hick these hickvills get.

that's why I said 1 person. He said "people" when I doubt it was more that 1 stupid person. Not saying it didn't happen once

Tst..tst...tst...you young grass hopper is wrong again.

You paid for part of the rent <share with roomate(s). You didn't get the whole apartment like he is. There is no way you are paying that little for a whole apartment in a nice area in Boston.

Around here <down South>, the rent is about $500 <decent> to $900 <luxury> for 1 bed apartment.

BTW, didn't know you are Korean. Are you sure? You sure didn't make a lot of good decisions in life...I thought you were white 😀

"Asian" would have been the correct answer.

Dude I make the same and I am prolly consider low income here. Shit I was looking at homes and found like 900-1100 sq home close to downtown for 220k... I thought the guy is out his mind.

I pay $700 for rent everything included, and 2 miles from downtown.
