…in the past month, than I did in the first twelve of my life. And I almost did again this morning.
The other day a coworker asked how much I pay in rent. I pay $550 for my beautiful, large, heat-included one bedroom apartment. I am very satisfied with that arrangement, and I’ve lived in the same place for over two years now.
My coworker was outraged that I pay so much. Well! Sorry! But not all of us live in out fiance’s mother’s basement!
She and the fiance are planning to purchase a trailer to put up on a corner of mother’s land that they bought for $1. So she went to a bank yesterday to see about getting a loan for the trailer.
She comes in today to brag to me about how she can get her loan for less than I pay in rent per month.
Yes, I want an house (but not a trailer). Yes, I have a down payment saved up. But I no longer have the income to buy a house and maintain it and all the other costs.
Yep, another close call tear-wise.
What a witch
You have a flat that suits you, don’t worry about her, except during the winter when she doesn’t have heat included and is shocked at her bills.
WELCOME BACK!!!…YOU’VE BEEN MISSED, ALOT!….(even though I know why your blogs have been absent)
Well, look at it this way……….Would you like to live so close to your fiance’s mother…( a potential “mother-in-law”)????……….or, for that matter, so close to your own parents?
Don’t sweat it lady – consider the source! You said you work w/ some nit-picking people, so this is par for the course. There’s some people in this world who will out-do you no matter what you say. If you feel you’re getting a good deal & it suits your needs, so be it! You’re definitely getting a better deal than me – in Manchester I’m paying $900 for a 1st fl. 2-BR apartment, nothing included. Half-full or half-empty… I think you have a pretty good deal (especially compared to where you used to live!).
