I'm guessing you lived with other people? $21k without roommates in Seattle seems particularly difficult these days. I managed under $10k/yr while in Seattle (living alone) but I lived a very poor lifestyle and had an incredibly cheap rental situation. ($400/month)
- ahelwer 8y agoManaged to find a (pretty bad) 1bd apartment in Capitol Hill for $900/month, but rent increases had me moving into a comfortable 2bd where I paid $800/month. $400/month sounds amazing! I now have a mortgage so it's a bit more difficult to figure out what counts as housing costs and what counts as housing investment.

Now I pay over $2k for a little 400sqft shack in the peninsula of the bay. Haha.. ha... ha... :'( Wish I at least had more than a fridge and stove for that price. I view any interest as housing costs and all principal paid as investment. But that's coming from someone who can't afford a home talkin'...
