[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually living in an expensive place really helps you save money if you live at home for a few years.

My kids can live in my house after graduation for free. I am in close in MoCo. Yet they will get paid more to account for high cost of housing with no housing expense.

I grew up near manhattan, I did not move out on my own till 29. I had a share situation and bounced back and forth between that and home till I got my own place at 29 for good. Yet I got paid more to offset Manhattan prices.

Another person who doesn't get it. Not having a car might work in Manhattan but in most of the country, if you don't have a car you're going to waste time and money on public transport/uber. I'm a college student and I live 15 miles from campus, and 10 miles from work. Going on job interviews after class would have been a PITA if I had to do it on the bus and I wouldn't have been able to go to class and then get to an interview in 20 mins. Same for the days when my class ends at noon and my shift begins at 12:30. Also a lot of jobs ask if you have transportation and they don't count public transport as "reliable" so they completely cross you off for the position. My car costs about $30 every 10 days or so in gas, ubers or even metro fare would add up to $30 much faster. [/quote]
