I’m planning on moving to the area next year to escape the Texas heat. Yes I know how cold it can get in Minneapolis, hence why I’m moving there! I’m planning on changing careers and going to school to become a nurse. I’m wondering what peoples monthly expenses are from low to high. So I can start planning my own budget and figure out the lowest I can make a month. So please let me know what your rent to all your bills and food expenses are. I do have two dogs so I’ll need to know if your rent is more expensive due to having pets. Please and thank you. I’m not planning on moving until probably next September.

ETA: I’m a 40 yo, widower who has no desire for roommates. My late husband and I would have celebrated 16 years this month. So I’m looking for a 1/1 or preferably a studio. All of my family will stay in Texas(thankfully) so no need to worry about guests.

ETA: I will have very little debt. My credit cards will be paid off, my personal loan will be paid off. My car is already paid for. I unfortunately have Verizon as my carrier. Just not ready to let go our plan we had together. So when I move up I’ll be either debt free or have very little debt.
