I guess I've got you beat for efficient living then? I live with my wife and our 4 kids in a 3030 sq. ft. home, which then works out to 505 sq. ft. per person. Also it depends on where you live, but in some areas it is cheaper to buy than rent, because you are just cutting out the middle man known as a landlord. Or I guess you can think of yourself as your own landlord.
- Swizec 12y agoWell, yes. Cohabitation is always more efficient than living on your own. And the difference per head is essentially just 5m^2, I bet my balcony that's almost useless takes up about that much. And renting or buying, I would always go for an apartment. I just do not understand houses. If I wanted more room, I'd go for a bigger apartment ... like those fancy 2400+ft^2 two-storey apartments.
- smeyer 12y agoThe solution to "it is cheaper to buy than rent" is to buy a condo or co-op. It's still an apartment, but it's not a rental.
