Transcript

Forgot to pay my rent this month. So let's make a late payment together. I've never had a late payment in my life and I could good sworn I set up autopay last month, but I guess something went wrong because the payment never went out on the first worst today's the third. So we're two days late. So let's see if we have a late penalty fee. So my base rent for a two two corner unit in a luxury apartment building comes out to $41.90. An additional parking spot comes out to tier. The sewer fee comes out to $9.73. Water fee comes out to $20.48, which honestly is really good good my opinion for two dudes that are always using the laundry washer and shower. The trash fee comes out to $12.19. This building has a ton of cool amenities like a pool, gym, yoga room, movie room, game room, etcetera. So we do have an amenity and technology fee, which comes out to $45. You guys have heard me complain about the Internet before, but it really does suck tier, but we still pay $55 a month for it. Then we have the FPL bill, which comes out to $66.12. And luckily, I don't see any late penalty fee on here. I guess my building has a five day grace period which is really nice. So as long as you make the full payment by December 5, we're good to no, baby. Alright. So the full payment comes out to $4,460.99 for the month of December. Divide that by two for me and my roommate and my portion comes out to $2,230.49. Let's do it. Confirm. Fuck. Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Rent has been paid in full with no penalty fee. And as far as I know, I don't have any travel plans coming up in the month of December. So your boy will be at home enjoying his rent, the walls, the window, the amenities, everything. And I might have some renovations coming up, so stay tuned for that. Peace.
