I am living in California right now, VERY CLOSE to Mexico. My ex-wife and our 2 teen-age kids are living in Pennsylvania. My ex-wife, I will change her name here, ‘Jennifer’ said, "I want to move. I HATE California but just about anyplace else." Jennifer has SSI, she has some sort of inherited disorder. I cannot EVER recall what it is but it screws up her back SO BAD, the doctors cannot help much. Our son, has Asperger’s so he also has SSI. I have SSI now too, within less than 18 months I had a stroke, heart attack & I had an amputation so, SSI here too. Now you know, SSI, (good reasons for certain) for all 3 of us (my daughter does not have SSI… so far…) CHEAP FOR SURE, go to a LOT of websites and basically ask for cheap apartments and you can get $1,200 and even higher! CHEAP?!? Utilities would be a "god-send." So, as I said, any city/state in the USA (besides Ca.) Nearer to Pa. I guess… Will all 4 of us get an apt again? No idea. Where will we go with all of that stuff? No idea there either. Can someone give me some good ideas? Last but not least, if this helps, I have $800+ a month SSI (Ca.) and Jennifer and my boy each gets $674 a piece (Pa.)
You must live a very sheltered life. California has one of the highest rental rates in the nation. If you move eastward toward the Midwest area (NOT in a large city) you can find nice three bedroom duplexes for less than $1000 a month.
As well, ignore the ‘all utilities included’ nonsense. The costs of utilities when they are included is obviously built into the monthly rent fee. Do not, for a moment, think that a landlord is going to provide those utilities without adding them to the rent fees. Besides, if you pay your own utilities, then YOU can control the levels of usage and only pay for what you actually use.
I’m trying to decide between two apartments; one of them includes a flat monthly fee for utilities, the other only pays water. I’m having trouble estimating what my utilities would be (my expenses alone, no roommates, living in Tucson, AZ). After factoring in utilities, which of these is the cheaper option?
Option 1: Rent = $419/month, includes water
Option 2: Rent = $470/month, includes water, electric, gas, trash & sewer
470 a month, damn where do you live? It’s like 1200 a month for an apt in jersey where I live but 470 would be the best option will all included, utilities can get expensive!
