My blog about life and getting out of debt.

I thought she’d settled down and was going to attend the JC, live at home so she could go to school full time and work part time. I was wrong or she changed her mind yet again…
Yesterday she told me she thought she’d found a room to rent in a condo. The condo was close enough to her school that she could ride her bike. She said it was a great bargain, only $450 a month with utilities included. She asked me if I thought she should call the woman and ask some questions. I told her to go for it, at the time I was thinking I had just called her bluff.
So she called “Gerry” about the condo. This is funny. The woman told my daughter about the room and then told her that she wouldn’t be allowed any overnight guests ever and that if she wanted to have someone over for dinner she would have to give Gerry a two week notice. The woman told my daughter that she’d be needing three references and here’s the funny part she said she didn’t want to have to talk to my daughter if she did take the room. There would be NO chit chat! LOL Then she wrapped up the conversation with, “If you are a social person then this probably isn’t the room for you.”
How crazy is that? Gerry’s rules are far more stict than mine. My daughter is passing on that room but is still looking for another. Less than 30 minutes later she found another “bargain” a 2 bedroom appartment that was renting for ONLY $1,095 a month! That doesn’t sound very affordable for someone that’s already given their two week notice at work.
