I don't know if anyone of you has even noticed, but lately I haven't been very active in abandonia. The reason is not that I would be tired of this place, but the old good reason: difficulties in real life.
Well, not maybe difficulties, but more like obstacles. You see, Im currently looking for apartment from the city, but after months of looking, I still haven't got much of a success. I put announcements to local papers weekly, but only few catches sofar. Offer 1: Sounds like a superb deal, but a little expensive. I say that I think about it, and change phone numbers. I think for 15minutes and call back, but the guy already sold it. Fast eat the slow, I guess. Offer 2: This time, I got appointment but there is already a guy there at the house looking for it. He doesn't seem to like it. I check the apartment for a while, but it's horribly small looks terrible. Laundrymachine wouldn't even fit to the bathroom. The dealer says that he got some people who are coming to look for it, but if Im intrested, he says that maybe we can make a deal. No thanks, I say, but wonder, what about the one that is still coming? Sorry for him? Offer 3: We make a deal that we meet at 18.00 at the house. When I arrive, I call him but he says that the apartment is already sold. Thanks a lot. So, why not mentioning about it? Am I somekind of dog you can just forget? Conclusion: Lot of snakes in the business. If you think that this is the place you want to live in, take it instantly. Don't think of fair deals. If someone is buying the house, knock him over and buy it before he does. Any experience, stories, recommendations? Please, write! |

Some people even put their laundrymachine in the kitchen because they lack space...

Luckily I won't have such problems in the future. Good luck in finding the apartment.

Good for me, I can stay at home for at least three more years, after that I've finished high school.
By the way, where are you living at now? Hope you find an apartment soon!

You aren´t so unlucky, Morrin. Here in Spain, and specially in Madrid, it isn't that difficult to find an apartment. The problem starts when it comes to the rent. For a young person, with an average work, paying that rent means about 70% of his income. For buying it is the same, banks are offering mortgages for about fifty years, so you can figure out how expensive have houses become here.

Lived in an apartment for 2½ year before i was feed up with the little space (89m^2)..
Now we live in our own house at 260 m^2, and it's cheaper then the apartment... It's all about the location.. i have no problems with a 25 min drive to work.

I knew it was hard to rent a decent apartment, but didn't know it was hard to also buy one. Then, I live in Aus where there is more space and less people. When I was renting, I stayed in some dives and some decent ones. But they were always noisy and lacked privacy. I moved into my own place in the country and have never been happier. I'm looking to upgrade one day soon, though.

here too is a big problem. i am trying to find it as well. turns out if my wife could get a job here it wouldn't be a problem to buy one. but she can't cause she is not from EU.
but to rent one... it's frekin' difficult. main problem is that no new appartments are built. why' cause laws prevent it. so since i can't afford ot buy one i am trying to find something with reasonable rent. nothing so far. i have an option but it's 45km from the place i work while means arround 45 min drive to work every day. for two room appartment the rent here is 40% of my salary. something i really can't afford. so more and more i am thinking about moving to some developing country and get some employment there. i am thinking one could afford a lot more that way.
