What the frick, Millennial scum? You’re telling me you can’t afford a $1200 apartment plus car note, insurance, phone bill, utilities, gas, food, etc on 2k a month? Must be all you damn entitled millennials.

As a boomer, I know I benefited from having the best economies in modern history but dammit we had it so much harder than you entitled millennials. I graduated college with a history degree and immediately found a great job with benefits. You millennials have no idea how difficult that is.

yeah I'm assuming sarcasm but yeah rent is high along with costs of living. I luckily got a good first job since I've graduated but unfortunately I can't live the OT baller life yet.

Back when i lived alone right out of college, about 1300. This was in 2015

Was looking around and 1 bedroom apts/condos around BR are going for roughly $1000-1200 in rent per month.

Depends on where those places are located.

I live off corporate in the Towne Center area.

I have a roomate and our rent is $1,330/mo ($665.00 ea). Does not include water/utilities. Very nice complex with two very nice pool areas and a nice gym. Neighbors are awesome (some older retired folks, but mainly young professionals. Have seen absolutely zero trash living there in the two years I've been there.)

If you and a buddy are looking, I'd advise a roommate. Splitting everything saves a ton of money.

$1500 a month

Single bedroom/ studio

Go back home for 3 months and save like hell

I used to go to HG before it was remodeled and became the essence of Uptown in Greenville. It was a really cool spot that had the local vibe that I associate with Greenville.

I’ve been to Blind Butcher once and it had a cool vibe. I’m recently single so I have to re-learn the spots around town. No complaints because I’m sure he Dallas talent is as good as ever

No single, but the wife and I live in a 1-br apartment and are paying a bit over $2,000/mo.

Look into El Cid

When my last roommate moved away I moved in with my parents in Lafayette. It costs me 350 a month and I'm there maybe 3 nights a week. I couch surf or stay with my gf while saving up for a house. I'm also back in school so it's nice not having to worry about much.

Living with parents gets a bad rap but damn, after 10 years of being out of the house I'm enjoying being back. I'm piling up some serious cash as well.
