conversation: User (aequusnox): "I'm freaking out over here wonderin whether or not I got this apartment. So it's $900, it's in the New Haven county of CT. I won't specify which town it's in, but it's in a suburb and it's a really nice area. Honestly, $900 is a steal for a house (renting) in downtown suburbia. I've never done this before so I'm unsure about this process. My girlfriend and I are moving in together. Together I think we offer a pretty convincing package; again, however, I've never done this before so it's just an assumption. \n\n**What I have**\n\nI work 2 jobs and make about 2k a month. I have next to no savings. I have a credit score of 652; however, it fluctuates. I'm also a 25 year old male.\n\n**What my girlfriend has**\n\nShe's a 21 year old. She has no job as she is moving across the country to live with me (and planning on working when she does move over here). She has a credit score of 782, $12,000 in stock, and $45,000 in savings."
  Self: "If both of you are paying the rent then yes. If only you are then no. Also is 2,000 you take home income or gross income?"
