>>60491632 (OP)>How much are you guys paying in rent?1700/mo with rent control since I've lived here for years. If I just moved in I'd be paying about 2300/mo
>Are you content with it or is it eating you up with how expensive it is?It feels expensive, but it's not that bad for what I get.
1000sqft, 2bedrooms+ 1 den, 2 bathrooms, in-suite laundry, no roommate, and a hundred different restaurants nearby I can order food from.
Main thing that sucks is sharing walls and loud upstairs neighbors occasionally.
My take home is 6.1k/month after 4% retirement matching and tax deductions, so 27% going to rent isn't too bad.
>Do you plan on moving?I would like to live more on the edge of the city on a large piece of land, with a long driveway away from the noise.
Put down some solar panels to keep my month-to-month expenses down and be independent from the grid going down.
Financially it's so expensive to find anything like that. A detached house alone starts at 800k, and anything like that is more like $1.5m+.
Even with a 200k down payment, max I can afford for my income is 665k
Realistically I don't need the space, I haven't had a gf in years, and I'd rather be retired and live in an apartment than wage another 10-20 years to afford an overpriced house.
