Date: March 29th, 2006 8:18 PM Author: Sienna Curious School Wrinkle That could be doable in Madison. It's probably not a plush two-bedroom, but you can find non-dumpy places for that kind of money in the midwest. I paid $550 for a one-bedroom in a below-average area when I lived in Minneapolis, which I suspect has higher housing prices.

|
Date: March 29th, 2006 8:27 PM Author: Sienna Curious School Wrinkle I didn't do the math and realize that was the minimum he could spend.
My guess? The apartment in a nice area is a $400 studio. And I'm a little suspicious of the nice area part, since I remember he said that almost none of the girls in his building speak English. He probably spends the rest of the money on food and bus passes - he apparently doesn't have any entertainment costs, and I don't see him being a clothing fanatic. |
|
Date: March 29th, 2006 8:38 PM Author: Obsidian impressive address that's probably because they are all asian students and they have rich families in asia. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=389685&forum_id=2#5460113) |

|
Date: March 30th, 2006 9:42 AM Author: navy stimulating theater codepig No way. Apartments in Madison are expensive, especially in nice areas. Most people have roommates to make it more affordable.
edit: I guess he might be able to get an efficiency for around $400/mo as Rowan suggests. |
|
Date: March 30th, 2006 9:51 AM Author: Sienna Curious School Wrinkle Yeah, I read wrong. I was thinking $666 for an *apartment*. Anything that leaves money for food and other items would have to be very small, I think.
Though it's certainly possible that don is underestimating how much money he spends.

|
Date: March 30th, 2006 9:57 AM Author: Pink wonderful stage deer antler When my boyfriend lived in an okay but not elite neighborhood, he was paying $675 for a one bedroom.

I go out twice a week and spend between $40-80 on booze. I take girls out once or twice a week which is usually around $100 a pop.
I spend 40-60 a week on groceries.
And it seems every month there is some big ticket item that costs several hundred dollars, whether its school books, a trip to the bahamas, a couple of new pairs of shoes, xmas presents, etc. you get the idea. |

|
Date: March 30th, 2006 1:12 PM Author: Misanthropic big gaping institution ohhh yeah bus passes adds another 600 yearly.
electricity i have covered. see above.
shampoo and all that is covered in the food budget. i lump all that together. so are any trips to starbucks or anything like that. i lump it together cuz it all goes on the credit card, and 220 is about my average monthly CC bill.
all told, along with the occassional splurge like an mp3 player, it probably comes out to just under 9k.
i wish it were lower. there is no need to spend 9000 dollars, which is a lot of money, just to support one person. but i am lazy and never cook. i could save a fortune if i cooked myself.
also my rent is kinda high. but it's about the cheapest i could find that wasn't in the ghetto. |

Date: March 30th, 2006 1:26 PM Author: Misanthropic big gaping institution well i'm interested in finance so i spend a certain amount of time reading and looking at data about that. but otherwise, aside from reading and taking walks, no, i dont really have any other hobbies. but do young people really have hobbies? i mean, i dont know any young people that have model trains (which would prolly be fun actually) or do arts and crafts or whatever. that's kind of an old person's thing. young people have work.
i have a couple of friends but i dont see them a ton these days. now and then. |

What do you do with all the extra money lying around? Just save it up? |
|
Date: March 30th, 2006 1:30 PM Author: Misanthropic big gaping institution save and invest. for that reason, if i got sick or laid off and couldnt work, i could last for many years. that makes me a lot happier and helps me sleep at night.
what hobbies do young people have? unless you count going to bars as a hobby. |

Date: March 30th, 2006 1:33 PM Author: Sienna Curious School Wrinkle Do you think there will ever be a point where you'll feel secure enough that earning more money won't make you much more secure?
See below for some hobbies of people I know. |

No, I would count that as hanging out with friends.
I would say movies, sports, music, and video games qualify as hobbies though or at least interests, and most young people are into those.
Most people have some kind of own unique hobby though - like they're in a band or they take kung fu or something.

Date: March 30th, 2006 1:31 PM Author: Sienna Curious School Wrinkle Yeah, young people have hobbies.
boyfriend: corporate basketball, golf, learning to play guitar
friend 1: yoga, taking a class to brush up her spanish
friend 2: cooking, making jewelry
me: ok...I really need to get some hobbies besides drinking and going to the movies and reading, but still, other people have them |
|
Date: March 30th, 2006 1:40 PM Author: Misanthropic big gaping institution haha
yeah i used to play a ton of basketball. maybe i should get back into that. it's fun and very good for the body. now would be a good time too cuz it's starting to stay light later. i used to meet a lotta friends that way too. and you never have to ask them "so, what do you want to do?" :)
i could never do yoga because i am a big yeti with no flexibility! music, i have no ability re. that. i cant even read music. |
|
Date: March 30th, 2006 1:47 PM Author: White mad cow disease stage The point is, you can learn to read music, don.
And there's plenty of inexpensive hobbies out there if you're concerned about money. |

Date: March 30th, 2006 1:28 PM Author: Misanthropic big gaping institution spending more doesnt make me much happier. when i travel for work i'm in a nice hotel with cable and internet. i spend more on food and stuff than i can imagine. 100 bucks a day sometimes.
it doesnt make me a whole lot happier. it's sorta cool but the novelty wears off after a while.
i can buy anything i want, short of like a Rolls Royce. that's no problem. i just don't want a whole lot. |

Don is one of the few people I know who really seems to lack the capacity to appreciate life. You could probably put the guy in a jail cell and and he'd be content, as long as he could think about the interest accruing on his bank deposits. |
