Stateside, about a grand out of Atlanta.

$175 a month for a studio in Tiger Land. Green shag carpet and 70s gold appliances. Still one of my favorite places I've lived.

2001 I think I was paying $425 for one bedroom in a 2 BR apt. It was some company that built college apartments and rented them by the bedroom. My wife was in a 4 BR unit but only 3 of them were rented, so the other stayed locked up by management. The next year we moved in together in a 2 BR duplex for $650. In 2004 after we got married and graduated we paid $850 for a 2 BR in Birmingham that was about twice the size of the duplex.
