•  You have finally graduated from high school, and you need to find a place to live in the city where your college or new job is.  There are many factors to consider in choosing a place to live, including location, size, and price.  You have a few ideas about what you are looking for and can afford. You know that you want to be right in the city, not in a nearby town, but you have not decided yet whether you will live alone or share a place with one or two of your friends. Your cat will be coming with you. You have $4,000 for housing for the year. Directions: Look over these ads for places to rent. Write down how much your monthly rent will be for each place listed. Assume that you will share a two-bedroom place with one friend and a three-bedroom place with two friends. (1) Room. Economy Inn. Route 13. $95/week. ____________________________… (2) Large 1-bedroom apt. Freeville. $400 includes. _____________________________ (3) Downtown 3-bedroom apt. $690 includes. ____________________________… (4) 2-bedroom apt close to campus. $600 includes. _____________________________ (5) Deluxe 1-bedroom apt. No pets. $525+. _____________________________ (6) Fine room downtown with fireplace, patio. $295 includes. ___________________________ (7) 2-bedroom, separate entrance. $550 includes. _____________________________ (8) Room. Share house, nonsmoking. $275 includes. _____________________________ (9) New 3-bedroom apt, no pets. $525 includes. ____________________________… (10) 1-bedroom apt near mall. $470 includes. ____________________________… (11) 2-bedroom, yard, pets welcome. $400+. _____________________________ You realize there are several places you can reject right away. Cross out the places that do not allow pets. Then cross out the places that are out of town or on the outskirts: #1, #2, #10. What is the cheapest place left? (12)_________________ You notice, though, that while most of the ads say “includes” following the rent, the one that seems cheapest does not. It has a plus sign instead. What does this mean? “Includes” means that the rent you pay includes the cost of utilities (electricity, heat, water) for the month. The plus sign means that you must pay for utilities in addition to the amount listed as rent. Look again. What is the cheapest place for you now? (13)__________________________ The place advertised in #11 still appeals to you, so you ask about other expenses. The landlord gives you these rough monthly figures: water $20, heat and electricity combined $100. The landlord also says that you will have to pay $10 a month for garbage pickup and that if you want cable TV, the local price is $24 for hook-up and $20 a month after that for basic service. You will also need a phone, which you find out is $30 to buy, $60 to install, and $20 a month, not counting long-distance calls. If you split all the monthly costs with a roommate, what is your monthly share? (14)_____________________ If you split all the one-time costs with a roommate, what is your share? (15)____________ How much will it cost you per month to live in #11? (16)________________________________ Can you afford the monthly costs (rent + utilities) for a year with $4,000? (17)___________ How much will you have left over to cover your share of the one-time costs and other expenses? (18)___________________
