Bummed
I'm quite bummed. They are uping our rent. I knew they would do it after living here a year but I didn't think they'd bump it as high as they did. I'm working on getting a new job but even so, it is not enjoyable to see the rent climb. And I wonder how much and how often they're going to up it next time. Its too expensive to live.
I applied for a job at Warner Brothers a week ago. I got called in for an interview and also called for a second one. I'm really hoping I get it but I know there's other people interviewing for it too. I should find out by the beginning of next week. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It will be nice to have two incomes again once I do find that job. I was actually thinking of joining the gym. Not anymore. Life is too expensive.
I looked at apartments here in the Burbank area on craigslist and then looked at apartments for the same price in Buffalo and the difference is astounding! Grump grump grump.

Right before we bought a house, they raised our rent. It was confirmation that we should buy a house! At least your mortage never goes up. Sure you have interest, but they payment stays the same. However, we live in a small city not with all the hype of LA.
Warner bros sounds cool. I hope it all works out for you. I can see how frustrating it is to live here and I can't imagine how annoying it is there. It seems like you never have enough money!
Too bad buying a house is waaaaay out of the question. The downpayment alone would be too much. Your raise in rent was not just a raise, but a hike.
Well there are some houses for rent that are somewhat reasonable which we'd like to make our next step. Since actually owning a house is out of the question, at least if we have to pay a high rent for an apartment anyway, we may as well rent a house. If we settle on the fact that we'd have to commute to work each day, some houses/townhomes out of the valley aren't completely unreasonable for renting. (did that make any sense? i'm tired.)
