I just moved. it was hella expensive.
security deposit + first + last month: ~5k
movers: ~850 (and don't tell me movers are optional - my wife is disabled and I have a lot of chronic pain).
uhaul rental + moving supplies: ~300
so total that's over 6 thousand dollars. that's the same amount as if they increased the old rent by 500$ and we lived there another year.
That's a lot. I just break down my stuff and pack in my truck. Last time I moved in the states it was a security deposit and first months rent so like $1800 (or $500 more than I was going to pay anyways in rent) and I guess gas. If needed I would buy and sell a trailer for like $400 so it would work out to $0 after being sold. My furniture is all very light and breaks down or otherwise can be easily moved by my little metal dolly and held with my straps. If I needed labor I could probably find two guys for $50 each for like those few hours, lunch included of course. It's really not much stuff.
you have no idea what depreciation is I guess. and idk where you're finding an apartment for 900$ a month that doesn't want first + last + security deposit.
is it possible that our situations are different? that not everyone has the same needs, is in the same location, or has your braindead math? or perhaps things have changed since you last moved?
(in case it's not obvious, that last paragraph is dripping with sarcasm. youre an idiot spreading misinformation at best. kindly go fuck yourself and enjoy the rest of your day)
