My state came out almost correct. I've just finished an apartment search in my area, for a cheap one bedroom. I've found some for $350-$400 a month, I'm sure there are some two bedrooms for $450-$500. But since social security comes out and federal/state/city does too. And finding one that cheap is like finding Waldo, so there is almost no chance.

Not long ago I worked 40hrs @$10 an hr, per week and netted about $300 after it was all said and done, approx $1200 total for the month. Not too long ago I worked for $8 an hour for as close to 40hrs a weeks as I could get with out going over and netted $500-$550 every two weeks. You're getting slammed
