11/09 Next Generation of Moochers
Quote From: jaf31260My son is 26 and lives with me, he got married young and divorced. He has a 6 yr. old daughter that he pay's child support for faithfully. We live in New York, where the rent's are out of control. He can not even afford a studio apartment. He make's about $10.00 per hour and the rent's are NO Less than $1000.00 per month. Yes, I would love for him to get out, but right now it's impossible. I totally agree with you..................Dr. Phil need's to check things out around the country and see how expensive thing's are in certain state's. My 21 year old daughter had to move to Virginia so she could afford to live. I agree.
I left a big city where I ended up liivng in basically what was a ghetto WHILE WORKING more then full time and barely surviving. [I wasnt a moocher, I moved to a place I knew no one instead of going home to parents in my mid20s]
I left to go to a rural area, where survival is easier but as the years past and ones pay stays around 10,11, 12 an hour, the prices have kept going up. Things have gotten tough again.
I noticed the poster making 40,000 a year barely making it. Where I live that would be a lower middle salary--ie you could afford a basic apt and decent level of living. He must live in California or some other expensive area. I once read that to live decently [decent apt, car, etc]in NYC, you had to make at LEAST 100,000 a year.
