[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really just a vent, more than anything.  Our 23 yr. old college graduate has been living at home since graduating, while working and saving money.  He is now ready to move out (can't blame him!).  We are all floored by the high cost of rent in this area - he's looking in NoVA, specifically Reston, Vienna, Tysons, Arlington, etc.  Obviously it's an expensive area and he's planning to have roommates, but we're wondering what others have done.  It looks like he'll be spending a good chunk of his paycheck on rent, something we were able to avoid for the last year or so.  How do young people save money anymore??

We've told him he's welcome to live at home for as long as he'd like in order to continue saving, but of course he wants his own place at this point, as we did too when we were his age.  [/quote]

Why are you involved at all?

None of your business how much he pays.

He must learn to budget.

Yes rents are pricy. $1800 and up... rare to be lower even with roommates unless it's a dumb or in a bad area.

Definitely not $1800 with roommates. That’d would be if he lived in a 1BR alone.

It’d be around $1300 for him (per person) living in a 2BR. [/quote]
