So, this thread spawns from this one: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=68540

Basically, nwlinkvxd and I want to move in together once I get my AA in my current town (two years from now). This is, of course, if everything works out relationship-wise. However, will we be able to do it financially?

Here's what nwlinkvxd came up with: http://www.ageofinsanity.com/expenditures.xls

He is currently making 10$ an hour as a computer programmer, but his employer is remaking his contract so he'll most likely get a raise (since on average computer programmers make much more than just 10$). I am just starting to work, making a measly 6.75$ an hour (and I can get a raise of 1.5% of my paycheck every six months). However, with school, we aren't quite sure if we can do it financially.

What do you think? What are your experiences and how can we cut down costs?
