As an alternative until I can find something I can afford, I have considered temporarily moving into an AirB&B nearby after I move out of my boyfriend's house until I get myself together. Everything else is too expensive & outrageous for a 1 bedroom apartment where I am. They want $1700 a month which I cant even afford. What do u guys think? What have your experiences been with AirB&Bs? I really am trying to avoid moving back home with older siblings & parents. No privacy there & its miserable

I’m really surprised an Airbnb is cheaper than a standard rental, that makes no sense given the host needs to make a profit

It will be $1200 a month which is closeby me.

Consider going back home, then move out when you have saved enough. Or find a roommate situation that is cheaper than 1700. Then eventually move to your own place. Airbnb can be a hit or miss, you can’t see the place until you have booked

I don’t know your location but in all places I’m familiar this would not be cheaper. Other than upfront costs to get in are less.

Can you live with a roommate? Check housing threads or even Craigslist for roommates or to rent a room in a shared house. I know it’s not ideal but it’s better than living at home!

Well an airb&b near me charges $1200 a month. Trust me, i lived with my older siblings and parents before and it was absolutely MISERABLE!! My sister and brother were always nasty to me and my mom always made me tell her when I was planning on going out and how long I was going to be going out for (when I was dating or even just to run errands). It was horrible!

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down. Our dad is the main offender, often reminding us how little time we have left with him, asking us why we’re leaving so soon or reminding us about all the good deeds and sacrifices made. We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued

Lawyer Couples:
