<prompt> Human: Ive been living with my dad for the 1st year, but now I have to leave, because he has to take over his late mothers house in michigan. he will be selling this one. I have about 3500 in savings, and for the summer, a full time job, and a part time waiting for me to come back at the end. I live in the Tampa Bay Area, and most housing is 600 or up, and I just cant afford it. I looked at roomies, but most of them seem to be creeper old guys who want a college age maid, you know? Even student housing at 1 bed in a 4 room drom is 700 a month.Anyone know any solutions?UPDATE: Ive found a place to live. An older lady who runs some small complex found me on craigslist. Shes decided to rent me out for 400 plus 50 for untilities, and is willing to work with me if something comes up. Weve gotten everything in writing, and all bills will be paid with checks, so they are able to be tracked. Thanks to you all who encouraged me to try zillow and craisglist again.Those who assumed that I blow all my money on parties and just told me to work more and that I mooch off my dad: fuck you.Assistant: You have a job and you live in an area with fairly low rent. The problem is more about your hang ups than finance. If you want affordable housing find friends who want to get a place or accept that living with new people is the reality of housing for college students. Human: That rent is for a decent studio or a 1bed. Even split, my rent would still be over 200 a month. I work 2 jobs, and only make 800 a month. Theyd probably want utilities too...  <response>: Yes, and thats very little. I understand its a big chuck of what you make but you still live in an area with relatively low rent. Your main problem is that you need to realize what its like for adults to occupy space. How much that costs and how often that entails living with others. Thats much more about social learning than personal finance. Number of jobs also doesnt seem overly significant when youre not working full time. If youre able to work part time, afford rent and living expenses; you dont have that high of rent.
