  • My parents rent out a room to a traveling nurse since my brothers and I moved out, the space was just going to waste. I’m not positive on what she pays, but I think it’s around $500.

    My parents and grandparents own rent houses. They’re active property managers. Most fixes they do themselves. My summers growing up were working on them.

    I think the difference between what they do and the corporate owned apartment I’m staying in is the “personal touch” (for lack of a better term). When the owners have never even seen the property, they see renters as numbers on paper instead of people.




  • Started as experimenting with drinking, found that I liked weed better, experimented with pretty much everything else, got arrested and put on probation, failed a drug test and was confronted by my parents, then went to rehab.

    Rehab got me sober, Alcoholics Anonymous kept me sober.

    The biggest reason I was able to get sober is that I actually wanted to. By the end of my addiction, I wanted to stop but couldn’t.

    The biggest reason I was able to stay sober was AA. Going and working the 12 steps.
