Moving on out, moving on up. We’re moving house to save money.
As we already know, the economy is spiralling out of control. I get paid in British Pounds, and sadly the exchange rate has been falling so I’m getting less dollar for my pound. To think – a month ago, it was hard enough to live on my paycheck, now it’s next to impossible. Actually, it really is impossible.
We’re spending masses every month just for the house – I can’t find any way to justify it. $400 rent, $250 gas, $50 electric, $50 water, $80 dish TV, $40 internet. That’s already $870 with an optimistic look to bills. Our gas bill was $300 last month, and rent would be $650 if it wasn’t for our very understanding landlord.
So we’re moving on out, in to a room in another house. We’ll be renting for $300 every month, but this’ll include everything. I will miss having so much space – but honestly, this house goes against so much of what I believe in. I will be glad to be saving money, perhaps in a year we’ll be able to buy a house.
In the mean time, I’ll continue to work on my webhosting business, and keep up with my blogs.
