I'm looking at apartments.
I found one on the prairie path on Roosevelt- studio, one bath 695 a month. Derek and I could do that easily. The problem being we'd have to factor in all the craziness....

insurance
gas
internet?
food
rent (of course)
misc. house costs (brooms, mops, vacuum, laundry detergent)

I want to make up a mock budget. I want to know what it takes for me to get an apartment. I want to do all the legwork before I bring it up to either set of parents. His parents are probably going to have a problem with it before mine would. He is younger.

What about school?
How would we pay for certain things?

I have to budget it all out... I have a goal though- that's a start.
