Okay, my lease is up soon, and I have 2 weeks to give notice if I am moving. I'm working part time, starting full time in a month. I live 21 miles from work. My apartment is great, non-smoking, in a great small town with the library, Y, grocery, and literally thousands of acres of protected land within 10 minutes. But the commute, once I go full time. ...
I've been looking for apartments near work. Most apartments I've toured smell like smoke, which I can't stand, and neither can my asthma. Those cost a good $250 more a month. The only nonsmoking places available cost $400 more a month. I've tried finding rooms to rent, but they aren't any cheaper.
Do I move, or keep my commute, which isn't bad. I've been going back and forth, and some other perspectives might help. If I move to a higher priced nonsmoking place I'll have only $100 a month left to put in savings.
I've been thinking too much and my head is starting to spin!
