Break the Bank (6/365)

Wheat Penny...worth at least 3 cents!

Good eye! I snagged that one and set it aside. :)
Break the Bank (6/365) by swimparallel.
Inspired by my housing search. Those who follow me on Twitter might remember me sulking about how much cheaper it would be to live in Richmond. Now there's a blog post to go with it. Bottom line: D.C. living is expensive

This is why we're out in the boonies; 4 bedroom house on a huge lot in a great little town. But we can have Chicago any time we want it.

I trust you didn't actually have to break that lovely piggy bank for this shot. And yeah, we often have to compromise on something. But we usually manage to make the choice work. Or am I just being an optimist?

Tell me about it. Long Island is becoming more and more a financial burden. Nice shot, though!

Thanks for the comments!

A... a lot? You have a yard? Tell me... what's it like to own a tiny slice of nature? I dream about it sometimes.

Wow. I can imagine that if anywhere beats out D.C., it's New York.

Have you been happy with the tradeoff?

I think you're an optimist, but that's healthier anyway! Can I steal some of that positive outlook?

Solidarity, my friend.

I noticed. Sadly, the job postings weren't nearly as plentiful.

Well, I'm like the world's laziest landscaper so I'm not sure! But we have a row of really old pine trees taller than our house, which was built in 1937, and I absolutely adore them and look at them from my home office window daily. Fell in love with this house the moment I walked inside, too. I think there are swankier, more happening places to live for sure, but for where we're at, being able to have a low mortgage in a place with great schools was a priority. We didn't want to be poor because of a house payment since we were already student-loan poor lol.
