Makes complete sense to me: cost of living for your desired location is outrageously expensive!
- Swizec 10y agoEh cost of living is fine. Cost of buying an apartment, lulz.
- metaphor 10y agoFor the sake of analysis, I tend to lump considerations of purchasing a home in with the cost of living, even if I am a bachelor and currently lease...call it posturing to make the traditional American dream a reality, if you will. Completely OT but just realized you're that guy[1]. =) [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAcOjTks9Ew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAcOjTks9Ew
- Swizec 10y agoHehe yep that's me. Buying never really appealed to me for reasons that go beyond the financial bit so I guess it never occurred to me that people consider it part of cost of living. Call me "grew up at a time when getting loans sounded crazy and kinda still does"
