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.

$40 for nerf guns. $200-$600 for rent.... yes I can see how this makes sense. besides the belt fed nerf guns kick ass

Sounds like you're better off without him, OP. I'm trying to move out with my boyfriend but he, too, is too comfortable with free rent from mom and dad. =/

He's just not that into you. Seriously. If he had any interest in actually moving in with you, he'd put his hobbies on hold for a few months in order to save up. Everyone here's saying that $30-50 isn't that bad, but it shows that he's really just not interested in moving in with you and you need to take a hint. If his priority was you, he could wait a while to buy a nerf gun since gee, I think they'll still be around in a couple months. I mean, it also depends on the size of his collection. If he has ten, that's 300-500 dollars, and if he's purchased them recently then this also needs to be taken into account. It's like someone bitching about how they don't have any money but they have an iPod and HBO. See where his priorities are. And yeah, they aren't you.

Wow. Just because he has a hobby doesn't mean that he can overall afford to move out. Get a clue, OP. If you can't even figure that out, then you just might have bigger problems to deal with than just finding an apartment. Also, if you don't know how to use dashes, then don't use them.
