I need to find a 2-bedroom apt for no more than $800/month in a fairly safe area. I haven't found a job yet, but I have about 3 months of savings to live on (cheaply) before I feel the pinch. Looking at more southwest/Summerlin/Lakes. My main concerns are:

-safety
-preferably something quiet without lots of crazies

Am I dreaming?

You need to have at least 6 months of living expenses before you even think of doing this. Either rent a cheap room with what you have or save up more money.

Yes! Add 400 to the rent budget

If you're by yourself, why do you need 2 bedrooms? You may want 2 bedrooms, but why do you need it. $800 sounds like 1 BR money, and in an okay but not tippy top area.

And, yeah, you need more than three months if you don't have a job lined up.

if your 'back' for real this time, you know the drill.

Summerlin/Lakes area - may not be the area you are looking, especially if you are on a limited budget. I would suggest renting a room with roommate to begin with, and then slowly work your way to where you want to be.

I understand you want a 2 BR .. but honestly, do YOU really need a 2 BR? a Studio would suffice and will help with rent money ...

I would rather repeatedly whack my genitals with a ball peen hammer than be in a roommate situation in Las Vegas. I would rather shave with a weed whacker. I would rather let Katherine Hepburn shave me with a weed whacker after she smoked a rock of crack and stuck herself with an epipen.

I would rather watch scoop do that, then watch the debate.

Isn't that basically the premise of the new show at Flamingo?

Might have to look into tickets ...

Good luck mishmom. All things possible.
