Today, I asked my boyfriend advice on apartment hunting - as we were planning to move in with each other. He told me that there is no way he can afford to move out of his parents' house anytime soon. He can, however, afford a collection of belt-fed automatic nerf guns. FML

Allo Trollsters. This is the silly girl who posted the FML. A few disclaimers: 1) Rent is cheaper here than you are thinking. My last place here ran under $500, utilities included. If we split the cost, we aren't looking at massive expenses. 2) He is 25 years old, he lives at his parents' for free, he has a job AND THEY GIVE HIM AN ALLOWANCE. Oh, yeah, and they pay his bills for him. 3) Yes, he acquired all the nerf guns at once, within the past week. 4) I don't have a problem with his hobby. Boys will be boys, and I kinda have a thing for nerds. I do, however, have a problem with the fact that he has lied to me for the past 6 months about his future aspirations... Because I have been busting ass, nose-to-the-grindstone, working towards getting my debts paid off so we could get this place together. Aaaaand, apparently toys are more important.

I'm not a doctor or anything, but im pretty sure that a few nerf guns are less expensive than maintaining an appt.

I'm going to look this up, just to give some perspective... Amazon.com prices a belt-fed automatic Nerf gun (specifically the Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Blaster, the first one I found) at $50.00 without their current discount. Monthly rent can run, just in my limited experience, from $300 a month to $900 or more a month. In that case, of course, the Nerf gun is obviously the cheaper choice. Unless he is buying 6-18 guns a month, he still isn't spending enough on the guns to equal monthly rent. Sure, a collection of Nerf guns is a little immature (albeit amazingly cool), but your comparison isn't justified.

A set of plastic guns is way cheaper than a apartment.

Ugh, you people don't get it. OP would rather he spend that money on the house rather than toys. Even if the guns costs $50, the money would've been more useful if it was spent on the their apartment!
