God I wish that were an option for me.

My parents died early and I never had the chance to live somewhere for free. I had to get my own place to stay ASAP and no savings/inheritance/insurance to buy property.
The only option I had was to get an apartment and work paycheck to paycheck to pay the rent.

I envy the fuckers who could just live at home until 25 and have 7 years to invest their paychecks. And some retards have that option but still don't do it, which I guess is ok if you have a good salary and the rent is barely a dent in it.

Based I pay $350 in rent. It's about 10% of my monthly income

I just moved from a shit hole duplex in a hip and trendy area of a medium-large city where I was paying 830 a month to a 900 sq ft SFH in the same area/city for 1100. This is still relatively cheap to majority of posters (I’m non-coastal, Midwest) and that small difference in rent has made a big difference. I no longer have downstairs neighbors, who were always very nice and quiet, and I have a better home office and leisure space. I’m 28 and lived in the 830 shithole for 5 years. Yes, it is worth doing this but don’t wait too long to upgrade because your home is where you’re going to spend a large portion of your life and the quality of your surroundings has an impact on your mental health and well being. In general, stay /frugal/ in the day to day but prioritize your health, freedom, and self-agency as these are the things worth paying for.

I tried living cheap but after I turned 26 I couldn't stand living with shit tier Craigslist roommates who never clean anything when I could easily afford a 1br or a studio with no issues.

SEX SEX SEX
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

people buy apartments you shitbrain

what do you mean by cheapest?
Do you sleep in a dorm like at some kind of hostel? Do you live in a decent area or a shithole?

I live on my own with my own kitchen, my own bathroom, my own bedroom and my own living room. In an area where I'm not going to fucking die if I go out after dark, within reasonable travel distance of shops. Prior to covid I also wanted to be within reasonable travel distance of my wagie workplace, but now everyone in my industry is remote so that's gone.

You can live in a van. You can live in a cardboard box under a bridge. At a certain point the savings from lower rent are cancelled out by the sheer bullshit issues that come from living amongst poor people.

I also just bought a house out of town so at least I'm not paying somebody else's mortgage anymore. But now I could do with a car, because of the convenience. I don't NEED one, but the amount of time I spend walking and sitting on the bus adds up, and having a car opens up side-income opportunities like going to garage sales and flipping shit on ebay.

There's no point in getting money if you're not going to live a comfortable life. Its like completing a game with an inventory full of health potions because you were too afraid to use them.

What's nice to you may be shit to someone else, or vice-versa.
There's definitely a template though for what's marketed to dumb millennials: fancy-looking bauhaus-inspired exterior (hiding cheap stick-and-OSB-built frame), "vintage" lightbulbs, token "gym", common room with tv left on 24/7 - all way overpriced.

check'd and as it should be

>trashiest place I can rent in my area: 900$
>place twice the size in a good neighbourhood: 1200$
It's cheaper to live in a decent appartment, when you look at return on investment.
