Ugh FMIL/FFIL vent

Ok let me preface this by saying that they have no concept of rental costs in decent areas.

When we had a 2 bedroom in a decent part of DC for $2100 they freaked out

Anyways, for the NY move, we need a broker since FH is in Ithaca and I am in DC. There was no way to Craigslist a no fee apartment with us living so far away. I have a lot of savings, and FH and I decided a broker was the best way to go.

So, since the place is a condo rental, there are hoops to jump through, etc. Obviously, we had first months rent and a security deposit. And broker fee.

They flipped out when he told them how much we had to put up front. Which is honesty less than we thought we would have to pony up by about $1000. I want to hit my head against a wall. If we want to move to NY, that is the price of doing business.

They just sent a series of crazy texts to him about how we are wasting money, bla bla bla. I told FH if they have a problem, they can take it up with me. I have a good amount of savings that I used to pay this. We have not asked them for money, so they need to chill out.

Ugh, they just make me so mad. They would rather we waste money on a crazy wedding, but not on a decent place to live



Vent over
