Day Six (out of steam)

Basically today was a dud. The roommate and I looked at zero apartments. Not completely because of our lack of effort. We contacted a few real estate agencies but didn’t’ have any leads. On top of that, the broker for the Williamsburg RR apartment that we actually have first dibs on, called to ask what our decision was. There was another party that was interested in renting the apartment and had submitted an application.

Actually, There are two apartments open for rent in the building: one on the 2nd floor and one on the 4th. After mulling things over, we decided if the application was on the 2nd floor apartment we would take it and if it was an application for the 4th floor we would take more time. Turns out that the other applicant was flexible so we have more time.

The problem is that we are just t-i-r-e-d of looking! So we ended up just talking about the reality of signing the lease on the RR and living in that situation. I think we just feel defeated and are ready to give in. But then I realized that we each will have to put in over 2G for the 1st month’s rent, last month’s rent, and broker’s fee. . . (gulp), seriously wiping out all of my savings . . . really depressing. . I need to find a real job.
