Average utility bill for 2 bedroom apartment?

Haleigh

Currently, i live with my mother, until my husband returns home from overseas. Im pregnant, and i left the apartment we lived in when the lease was up. My mom can help me with my pregnancy, since he wont be home till december and im due in october. The apartments we lived in was 765 a month, all utilities included. Well, they only have 1 bedrooms, so im looking into 2 bedrooms, because of our child being born in october. I found one i really like, ive even toured the place. But its not set in stone yet, i want to look at other options out there. But what i really want to know is how much the average utility bill is. I forgot to ask because i was so excited. The 2 bed 1 bath is 800 sq ft, and the 2 bed 2 bath is 970 sq ft. Does anyone have an average price? We live in san antonio, tx if that helps :)

Answer
The only true answer would have to come from the utility company. You can call each one and ask what the average costs are on a address.

Where would be a good place to stay in San Antonio?

Ren Veeri

My friends and I are trying to plan a senior trip to San Antonio. We need a good place that's at a reasonable price and that lets an 18 year-old book rooms. It needs to be in a safe location. Does anyone have suggestion?

Answer
While the Menger may be nice, it's also one of the most expensive hotels in town. Celebrities usually stay there when they do concerts or Broadway shows.

Although I live here, I had to stay in a hotel one night, and I chose the Drury Inn near the airport. It was around $100 (although there may be extra person charges in your case), and it was one of the best lodging experiences I've ever had. The room was huge (and it wasn't even a "suite"!), had a separate bedroom, living area, and kitchen sink and refrigerator. The fitness room was great, too, and there was a nice continental breakfast in the morning. The lobby really looks like one in a first-class hotel, too. The location is definitely safe--there are lots of other hotels around it, and it has a gate that locks at night.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the booking age. If nothing else, you could probably arrange to have a parent book it for you and set it up to where you could check in on your own.

Arizona or Texas is a better place to live?

Q. For a teacher which state may offer more? Which state has a lower living expense? I love teaching but finances are a reality that cannot be forgotten.

Which State? Why?

A. Both are affordable... it really depends on what you like. If you like dry heat and dessert then Arizona is way better and nicer than the Texas dessert (we found El Paso to be one of the least friendly, and most run-down, places we've ever visited). If you don't mind humidity and thunderstorms, and you dig greenery then the Texas Hill Country (Austin & San Antonio) all the way to East Texas (Houston area) has lots of forest, streams, lakes, etc. Both offer affordable housing... I personally prefer Texas because the people (at least in the hill Country and the Houston suburbs) are generally warm... and I don't really like the dessert. One draw back to Texas though is crazy-high property taxes (typically run around 2.7-3%, but can get as high as 4% by the time you're done adding them all up in a newer "bedroom" community)... and unless you're bringing in a giant income the absence of state income tax in Texas will not off-set this tremendously high property tax... I ran the numbers as we are considering the move from So. Cal. to Texas and our overall tax burden would actually go up... on the positive side we could still afford a nice, new home in a nice area despite the high taxes. One big potential plus for you as a teacher in Texas is that it seems that they take a lot of pride in their public schools (generally beautiful campuses)... we have several friends from Texas who say the public schools there are quite good. One big cultural change (at least from So. Cal.) is that it is my understanding that public education in Texas is considered a privilege (and not a right)... so parents understand that if their kid does something bad enough to get expelled it will be their burden to find a school that is willing to take their kid... I would imagine this would make keeping order in the classroom a little easier for a teacher. Best of luck!

how long does my husband have to be in the air force before i can live on base with him.?

Q. My husband is joining the air force soon and we have a 6 week old son. I want to know how long it would be before we will be able to live on base with him and what life on the base would be like.

A. IT depends on his job. He'll do his 8.5 weeks in San Antonio at Basic and then will go on to Tech School. Once he graduates Tech School, he will be able to come home to you to and everyone moves together. He will be able to set up the mover's to come and pack your things (or you can if you have a POA), and they will pack you up. You will then be able to go together as a family to his first duty station. They will pay him DLA to help pay for moving costs (usually around $1500), Hewill also receive per diem while in transit. You can stay in Temporary lodging for up to 30 days (this varies on the base but usually 30 days) while you find housing. If you want to live on base, you need to apply for housing at your nearest base 30 days before you arrive at his new duty station,. this way you are on the list faster. You can do this for him as long as you have a POA and copy of his orders.

Life on base is basically like living in a little town. There's the BX, the commissary, gym, library, thrift store, pool...it's pretty self contained. We have always lived on base and love it because he can get to work quickly and always come home for lunch/dinner depending on his shift. We save money because he doesn't have to eat out. Our house is very nice too...Since you have one child, you will only get a two bedroom home. Could be a house, could be a duplex, just depend on the base. You can always choose to live off-base and he will get BAH to help cover housing costs but you can end up paying out of pocket.

wow..I love getting thumbs down when I'm right..ha ha ha Believe me, you'll be with him BEFORE he gets to his first base.
