Here is why. I may be moving this summer. My parents (whom I live behind), wants to sell their house. Because I don&#8217;t want strangers up front, I am forced to sell my house also. And because my house is so old, we&#8217;ll have to sell them together (the equity in their house will pay for mine). I&#8217;ve got several choices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buy another house<\/strong> &#8211; This just puts me right back into a mortgage. However, I&#8217;ve still got a house. I can still have a home office. However, I will be out in the boonies again, because I do not want to pay $250,000 for a house.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rent an apartment, lease an office<\/strong> &#8211; I am liking this option for one reason: simplicity. I can get a small apartment, and reduce all of my CRAP down to one or two rooms. I can also decorate it with stuff from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wrapables.com\/\">Wrapables<\/a>. But there is also a disadvantage to this. I can&#8217;t work on my cars, or do other crazy stuff that I do. BUT&#8230; depending on how much I make from selling, I can afford some newer cars. I would also be throwing away money every month. And the locations are not all good (except for one that is really expensive). I would also need to lease an office. This isn&#8217;t too big of a deal, and kind of getting needed. I can move all of my computer stuff into the office. However, finding affordable office space isn&#8217;t easy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go RVing<\/strong> &#8211; This is every mans dream. Living in an RV. Even the guy on Grey&#8217;s Anatomy does it. It&#8217;s the simple life. But this requires buy an RV, and getting lots of storage space for things like my big screen TV. So this is probably a no-go.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So anyway, what do you think I should do? I am hoping for the middle option, as I can live cheaply. Cheaper electric. No Internet at the house, as I can use my laptop with a wireless card. $10 a month for TV with my friend&#8217;s satellite. Cat food for just 1 cat since Jessica is going to school and doesn&#8217;t like Meiko. So&#8230; your thoughts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My office is officially on a diet.
