i have recently had a reality check. i calculated how much i have spent on rent during the last 2 years that i have lived in nyc. to my horror, i realized with the amount that i've spent i could have purchased a luxary vehicle or put a down payment on a house in buffalo. this little wakeup call has put me in this downward spiral of what the hell am i going to do within the next few months when my lease is up. here are some of the ramblings going through my head:
-apartments are decently priced right now. my coworker recently moved to midtown east and negotiated down $500 on an asking price for a one bedroom with patio. plus, whilst trolling craigslist, i noticed that prices are a good 200-500 less than what i am paying now
-unfortunately, not many of these said apartments are in my neighboorhood. and i am totally willing to switch hoods, but i am head over heels in love with my neighborhood.
-which brings me to lastly that i am also obsessed with my apartment. but it is really worth paying this much? or further more, is it really worth the extra $200-$400 a month?
-why haven't i tried the new chocolate pinkberry flavor... oh wait... apartment dilemma... right, focus...
these, my friends, are the thoughts constantly going through my mind. and it's making me go insane. eventually the voices in my head will have to stop, and i can go back to worrying about frozen yogurt. until then...
