I am really in favor of moving in with Alysse once I figure out the car situation. However, budget-wise, it may not be possible. Here is my list of expenses:
Rent: $287/month
Car Insurance: $140/month
Gas: $80/month
Food: $100/month
Phone: $45/month
Savings: $150/month
Misc.: $100/month (electricity, etc.)
Pros:
Close to campus
College environment
Fantastic roommate
Don't have to drive to school
Kitchen all to myself
No commuting
Cons
Expensive compared to only paying for my car at my grandparents
Has the potential to ruin my relationship with Alysse
Ok, so I don't have very many cons, but still. At the moment, I am just staying here while I feel out what is happening with my car. I really think that moving in would be helpful, though I am not sure how I could manage financially.
That's not an easy choice. Living close to school would sure be helpful with your busy schedule. But money always becomes a factor. And you are right about the friendship part- it could cause issues.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are able to stay with her while your car is getting fixed. Maybe by then you will have a clear answer to your dilema.
