Wife and I have set a max budget of $250,000.

Some of you are probably wondering how you can get a house for that low of a price. Hint: look at my Location.

I wouldn't think anyone is thinking that's low. The US median home value for 2013 was $152,000. You're quite a bit above the median. Where i'm at $250K will get you a 3,500 sq. foot home in a really nice neighborhood, or on about 5 acres of land.

From the pictures you've posted I'm fairly certain you live in the US equivalent of Siberia, so I'm not surprised prices are cheaper there

Alaska is the U.S. equivalent of Siberia. In fact, AK is only 44 miles from Siberia.

I don't think I could afford a permanent parking spot in Chicago.

That's pretty incredible.

My wife's parents just sold their little home on a .5 acre lot for almost half a million. That was suburban Mass. tho.

A quarter million dollars could buy a mansion in my neck of the woods.

My mother bought herself a brand new two story house for 140K.

Texas has cheap real estate as well. I bought my new 2600 sq ft home in 08/09 for 140k (about 180 now). The NE US has high real estate costs.

[Fragems]

: Someone tossed a stink bug in the toilet and didn't flush. Didn't notice it floating around in there and made the mistake of taking a piss on it. Bathroom now smells like rotten potatoes .

Went to Avon, got three applications (one for a place I might not try for, since it may be for a job cleaning cottages and without a vehicle it'd basically be impossible).

So:

But... that's basically one application for every 4 to 7 places I asked about.

So:

Also two of the places said that they only hire women since they sell bathing suits for women and it's less awkward.

So:

And on Tuesday I gotta talk to the people at Wonder Berry.

So:

Better than no applications at all, dude. I've been in the situation where I've been in fifty+ places a day and no one was hiring in any capacity. It's disheartening, to say the least.

Good luck with those applications though.
