It depends, What does the kid do for a living?

It's tough, there's no doubt about that. I've seen the prices of nearly everything go up; its all related in the long run.

I hope to move out soon myself and although it seems daunting I know it can and will be done.

If they're planning on living alone in this area as a first time renter then they can forget it unless they're making bank.

My point exactly, even a young married/live together couple couldn't do it without help..............

Sure they could. I said that one couldn't do it alone unless they were making bank. If there were two involved then its a whole other ball game.

I am the complainer. Just ask anyone.
