We just celebrated our country’s Independence Day. Fireworks, picnics and beers remind us annually of our fight for freedom from the Motherland. As young adults, on our own, we don’t celebrate our independence from our Motherland (i.e., Mom and Dad). You may not even have known that it happened.
It did, though. Bring on [...]

Apartment hunting is much like training for the Olympics. It takes many hours of hard work and dedication to reach your goal. Instead of a medal, though, here the prize is a reasonably-priced, clean apartment in a decent neighborhood.
For athletes, though, the Olympics comes only every four years. Apartment shopping, unfortunately, [...]

Based upon your Twitter activity, it looks like Sunday is a big day for most of you. Although it is the Colts versus the Saints, sounds like there is more on your minds than the game. Some of you are bearing down for the winter storm that is coming while others are finding [...]

My bags are unpacked, and the apartment is scrubbed from top to bottom. That’s right - I finally moved into my OWN place. No more couch for me.

And, we have a winner. Three months of searching have finally paid off. This week, I was successful in finding a little “convertible” to call my own - at least for the next twelve months. It turns out, that, when it came to compromising, not much was needed after all - it [...]

Studios, security deposits, neighborhoods, amenities, square feet, blah, blah, blah. With so much information and so many rental choices, how does anyone find a “good” place to rent? All that I’m looking for is a small apartment in a good location at a reasonable price - not a real estate degree. Is [...]
