Everyone is saying “don’t go for the apartment that is just out of your price range”

I won’t.  I really won’t because I like spending money on groceries and wine and also the occasional trip so I won’t 

but I realllllllllly want to.  And it’s so hard when you see that for $100 more a month you could have a brand new kitchen!  And it’s BIG!  And a dishwasher!  And laundry en suite!

If I FACTORED in the money I spend doing laundry each month (probably $25-$30) then I could justify paying more for laundry en suite.  If I factor in how much happier I would be then I think that SOMEONE SHOULD JUST GIVE ME MONEY.  

What if I got a roomate?

nope.  I hate roommates.  And all the good ones already have their own places.
