what about searching a one bedroom rental in a house, its another option for a lower monthly rent!

That sounds terrible and sad at the same time. "Hey mom I have to live in a ghetto neighborhood just so I can afford to live on my current pay."

I have a friend who is currently reserve erj at dfw and he is just paying for a hotel right now. I think he is averaging 4-5 nights a month out of pocket for a hotel room.

Instead of throwing your money away in rent, buy a house.

Glayvin...I understand after living by yourself for awhile, it's hard to think about bringing in a roommate. But I would strongly urge you to hold off on renting yourself a one bedroom until a few months of work on the line. In the meantime, crash with a buddy. I found myself away from home so regularly for the first couple years it would have been insane to literally toss money away on rent for a place I lived in just a few nights a month.
