Well this is what me and my best friend are doing in a year or so. We are going to rent a house together and split the cost (possibly getting another roommate to make the portion we pay per person smaller) renting a place is almost as much as an apartment (well in detroit anyway). What I recomend is finding some friends and rent a house instead of an apartment, there will be plenty of room for your fish and usually things like a stove, fridge, washer and dryer are included there, sometimes furniture is too and some places have the utilities included in the rent so you don't have to go out and buy all those things. Plus it's a house so you wont really have to share that much space besides the bathroom. Usually places allow fish so yeah. I totally understand where you're coming from tho, you're starting to feel like "oh god i gata get out of here". I feel that every single day Dx
