New accomodations search

[Mudcat]

The decision is made. I'm gonna move. This is the thread about it.

Initial thoughts after an initial browse:


1) My rent - meaning the rent that I'm paying RIGHT NOW - in this place I have lived for 15+ years - seems like it's pretty damn good. I don't know why that would be. It's a great building pretty close to the lake - I'd think there might be a bit of a premium - like Jenny's place has a significant premium (although it is right overlooking where the Credit River comes out on the lake whereas my place is a quarter mile from the water.)

Whatever. Point being - everywhere I look at in Milton - which, as far as I know, is just a characterless expanse - costs more than I pay. $150/month at least. 2-3 hundred in a lot of cases.


2) I have no idea what my square footage is.

Was that banana hanger contraption invented buy you or bought in the store?




I'm guessing this rental property is near you..?: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2072248?checkin=11%2F08%2F2016&checkout=11%2F11%2F2016&guests=1&adults=1&children=0&infants=0&s=nEkGw5Mf

You can get a good grasp of local market values via airbnb.

Renting out your old apartment could be an option, to stash some extra funds in your portfolio.

The banana hanger came with the apartment.


So I get this new job with all this fancy new money. But then I will have to move and pay that much more rent. Couple hundred? And then because of the increased calorie burnage on the job, I am eating $100+ more per month in groceries.



The amount of extra money being earned is still way more than that - plus there will be less gas and presumably less general car maintenance - so I am clearly way better off in the big picture - but still, I am angry in principle.

See Muddy is actually good, he damn well is.

Let me think.

Lose the anger Mud. Women like it when you smile, they do, it displays confidence.

I have to think about the rest.

Jenny sez her apartment is 750 square feet but is bigger than mine.

I however have a penis.

For me a comped room and free slot plays works. I guess that's fun.

Isn't it?

Do what you do, Muddster.

I see basement apartments. Bigger square footage on those. Decent prices.

I had a basement apartment once in my life - and it happened to be a great experience. But hearing people talk, I can't help but wonder if that was the exception to the rule.

Don't know, don't know.
