Can I live in an apartment with a roommate on minimum wage in central florida?

Question

Can anyone give me an estimate as to how much housing is around here?

Answer 1

I know you will probably turn away when I say this but just listen. Community College is your best bet right now. Do your first two years at a community college, the price will only be a few thousand if that, usually ranging between $1500 to $3000. Live at home for that time and use the money to pay for school. Also, some jobs like UPS offer tuition assistance that can help you. So while you;re taking classes (that will transfer to a college you want to go to) save up also, and apply for scholarships and loans that you can put off until after you graduate! And yeah I know it;s a community college but believe it or not more people are doing that now than ever because you don;t typically start the classes you want to take until your junior year anyway,,, AND ITS CHEAPER!!

Where like Alafaya? I'm staying at pegasus landing and its about 575 but my cousin has a place for 485 a month. I would suggest trying to get a job more than minimum wage because it would be difficult... but it can be done.

First: Don't fall for these so called money making schemes that you hear about on the internet ..... 95% of them will take you to the cleaners .....

Look ; instead of getting an apartment ; why don't you rent a room in someone's home .... Make sure there are Kitchen and House privledges etc .....

It will be a lot less expensive in the long run ......especially if you find a place where the utilities are included in the rent ..

I rent my two furnished xtra bedrooms out all the time for just $100 -$115 per week including Utilities here in Debary, between Orlando and Daytona Beach, Kitchen-House Privledges, and use of the Hot tub .... I've had college guys stay here , go to school during the day and work in the evening  etc .....

Good Luck !!

Benjamin, I moved from Florida to Vermont last year, so I'm not sure who I could call to help you. Here is a list of apartments in Florida that you can call. http://www.findanapartmentonline.com/Flo... I'll bet someone can help you.

Answer 5

It'll be tough.  You are looking at paying a minimum of $400 if you have one roommate.  You're best bet is to get a bigger house or apartment and share with three or four people.  That way you're rent would be about $1000-1200 divided by four people is about $300.  Plus you'll have to buy your own food and toiletries, etc.  The cost of living is pretty expensive!  Maybe ask your parents if you could pay them rent so that way you won't feel so bad about staying there for a little while after H.S....??  Good Luck!
