ridge

 I don't think i'm going to go with the upgrade. I just have this nagging feeling. But I have until tomorrow to sign the lease so lets see what else I can find. 

The Ridge - same company - 1 bedroom; a lot smaller

income: $3087 + 175 = 3262 = 3260

$1060 rent

$30 internet -- address qualifies for the discount internet like present. 

$90 utilities -- water included; 50-60 MGE; 50-60 gas heat in winter; 10 trash

$271 loan --> pay it back with student loan (could be until May that i even see financial aid)

$120 (25, 40, 50) credit 

$35 payment for flight up there to look at apartments. (this is almost paid off)

$70 Joint membership 

$235 car payment

$90 car insurance 

$370 health insurance through marketplace

$117 student loans (current is $170 but it will be redone in May; i applied for SAVE program)

$200 groceries 

$90 pets

$20 subscriptions ($9 hulu, $7 pandora, $1 cloud space)

$80 gas (10 min drive to work; 15 min bike)

$75 savings 

$50 Roth IRA

$60 storage unit

-------------------------------------------------------

2547 --- hell yes. 

even if its $100 more I can swing it comfortably. 

I would be losing a lot of space; nearly half; but I can put the guest bed, my sentimentals, my costuming, extra coffee table, and my camping stuff all in storage. I looked into the space and I can fit everything i need there. 

I have a better feeling about this one than I do the 2 bed for 1200.
