March 15, 200817 yr Congrats, mate. Just don't do what I did and quickly lose the income you need to maintain it! How did that happen? Excessive honesty. i refuse to sign off stuff that isn't absolutely correct, and not just politically OK. I annoyed a client because I criticised them when it counted. They coudn't do anything about it because I was right. but it rubbed some folk the wrong way. But i'm slowly getting back up to speed again. In the end the people who matter value integrity.

March 16, 200817 yr "Big whoop, wanna fight about it?" Yeah whatever. I was just offering a suggestion, to use the quote tags instead of spamming.
March 16, 200817 yr Is $1100 much for an apartment in the US? It doesn't sound like much to me.. I live in a crappy student apartment, in a student's area of Uppsala (small Uni town). The house was built in the sixties and has very low standards for being in Sweden. My apartment has three rooms and I pay appr. $740 a month for it. I have NOTHING in the complex, not even my own washing machine! No fire place either.. I'd have to pay extra if I wanted a parking space.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

I have NOTHING in the complex, not even my own washing machine! No fire place either.. I'd have to pay extra if I wanted a parking space.. It's all relative to area, or even street by street sometimes. In "expensive" cities, $1100 is fairly cheap if you're only talking about price and nothing else. Course, size of the rented space + features + area/street is more important in terms of defining what "cheap" is. A 1-3 bedroom, 600sq. ft. to 1500sq. ft. place might be between $1200-$3500 a month where I live. Tiny 400-500sq. ft. studio apartments (those w/out any separated rooms except for the bathroom) might run between $900-$1300. Most apts/condos would have at least 1 covered parking space and complex laundry facilities - even if that only means a single washer/dryer shared by 8 units - but not all the very cheapest rentals do. Rents were higher a few years ago - they've been going down/stabilized some now. That's based on my observations of the area, others might think differently. But in some areas of the US, it's a lot cheaper to rent than where I am - ie, you'd get two or three times the rental for the money, so to speak. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

But in some areas of the US, it's a lot cheaper to rent than where I am - ie, you'd get two or three times the rental for the money, so to speak. Yeah, it depends on area. Where I'm from, WV, rent for a two story town house, 2 bed, 2 bath is probably about $600. Of course, WV is the cheapest place to leave in the country. For my size place, it's more like $450 a month. Of course, there are no places in WV that have gas fireplaces, gas ranges, washer/dryer in unit, swimming pool and hot tub, fitness room, billiards lounge, business center, swank lobby area, gated community, etc. $1100 for all of that is not bad, methinks.

March 28, 200817 yr Author Nice pad and Im mildly impressed with the attempts at decor, you know, for a bachelor and all. Haha, yeah, tell me about it. Everything you see was either given to me, or I had for a while. I had a bunch of little silver container/bowls/baskets/etc. And the only thing I could think of to put in them were those little potpourri globes that are all the rage now. But yeah, I worked with what I had. "Of course the people don't want war.
