1200-1600 a month. Family of 5

Preserving green space in our crowded state: Yay!

Exacerbating the housing shortage and driving up home costs through scarcity: boo.

The break even point for Uber vs parking keeps getting lower and lower. I think it’s at 3 days for me - three or more “parking days” and it’s cheaper to Uber.

I’ve used the parking spot lot a bunch of times. Definitely much cheaper but waiting for a shuttle is a pain. Also if it snows while you are away you’re digging out.

Silverball in Asbury. BYO food and drinks and pinball / games for the evening. Extremely reasonable in price and super fun. Plus many places to continue the party afterwards!

I had my 40th there!

Right. You can solve affordable housing even in the suburbs by building complexes near public transport.

A big complex in the middle of nowhere with 20 mins of road to get to transport is a failure in premise before it’s even built.

As other commenters have mentioned, other good places to build: existing abandoned lots/malls. Malls were targeted to areas with decent transportation access anyway, and they’ll never come back… soooo start going up!

$100-$160 a week for my girlfriend and I depending if we need to buy cleaning supplies.

Thanks! My claim status was changed to “eligible” with a dollar amount yesterday, so fingers crossed that means it’ll start paying soon.

A few years ago I went on a date with a 25 year old NJ woman who had never been on a train or subway in her life. It blew my mind. And shed been into NYC many times.

Married and we spend about 200 a week, too. It’s actually insane

Single woman, vegetarian, age 30 ad I spend about $50-60 a week on groceries from ALDI, TJ's, or Stop&Shop. Sometimes I spend less if I have things left over from a previous shop. There might be a week that I spend $20 more on things like toilet paper and household supplies, but I try to keep those as a different line on my budget because they're not a weekly expense.

Thank you.

Glad to hear!

Huh?

Omg, yes, no way we could have this many in an apartment!

Go to the customer service desk and buy a gift card. You can then shop without a membership to see if it is good for you.

Fruits and vegetables are really cheap at Costco. Cereal is retarded cheap. You get two huge bags of brand name cereal for like $6 compared to a small box at the supermarket for $4. Washing machine detergent is amazingly cheap at Costco.

The key to Costco is self control and not buying random stuff.

Not fancy (OK, a little fancy) just know what I'm doing in the kitchen and enjoy cooking and good food.

Newman Springs Road/35. That damn train!

Lol We joke that if we ate like our 16 year old, they’d have to cut a hole in the side of the house to get us out.

It is the single point at which the dichotomy of human condition is not Saint vs sinner, but rather one who does not give a shit about others and ones who are idiots.

yep, I literally and I kid you not am in walking distance of Costco. You've all convinced me I may get a membership. I eat the same stuff for sure...

9 cats? wow. you must be ahome owner clearly.. Invite me over! I want to pet the cats!

Wish we had more trains up here in Murica. Would ride it all the time

Great news.

haha

I used to cook with it often too but I cook mostly with butter now ( at least it's not oxidized ) there are some dishes where I still use OO because you're right the taste it gives is really good
