Commute either way is negligible compared to the 85 minutes I do now. I'm currently in 2 bedrooms with 1150 square feet, so the loft represents the need to throw a lot of stuff out and be really efficient organizing what I keep. Loft is close to several restaurants and clubs that I'll need to avoid to protect my budget and waistline. Parking won't be a big problem. Biggest downside of the loft is that every extra dollar I spend on it further puts off the day I can build up a workable downpayment to buy back into where I am now.
Just how hideous is the carpet?
It's about an eight of an inch thick and looks like this.
It sounds to me like you've already decided on the non-loft place, Matt.
If you saved the entire $250/mo ($3K/year) savings of living in the soulless development, how much sooner would you be able to buy? Will it add up fast enough to make a significant difference?
take the cheap place - save to buy.
I just finished looking at all the Mattias pictures - what a cutie!
watching Life - was bugged by the actress
playing the Russian girl, friend of the deceased
it is Courtney from Jack & Bobby. I love imdb.
I'm really loving Life.
1. Holy shit, World Series game 1 is a laugher right now. 13-1, with three runs walked in.
2. Hec, you should know, I've never touched a shotgun in my life. I can go into some depth on the history of ballistic weapons (especially in the 19th century), but I wouldn't know what to do with the real McCoy. If you gave me one I'd probably unload it and use it as a baseball bat. Or hand it to ita, if she's in the room.

Actually, more or less the opposite. I'm trying to see if I can talk myself out of the irresponsible thing: paying more for the apartment that I'll be really happy with for the next 5-10 years.
