Washington Mutual finally called me back today, after I was continuously pestering them. Well, it appears that I got approved for the loan… of course, now the issue becomes less “Can<\/i> I buy the place?” and more “Should<\/i> I buy the place?” We still haven’t found a third roommate, although desslok<\/a> may possibly be interested (depending on how his situation plays out), but not for at least two months.<\/p>\n

The real question it all boils down to is “can I afford to live without that extra $600\/mo?” It would be tight. No more amazon.com packages of bunches of DVDs… No more buying video games that I don’t finish… No more buying every comic that looks interesting every week. I draw the line at lunches though. I refuse to take my lunch to work. That $5 * 20 days stays right there in the budget, thank you very much. Of course, even with a second roommate, there would still be less money flowing… of course, I could always tweak down my 401k temporarily or blow some stock options at less than optimal prices. The fact that next month is my last car payment helps things tremendously.<\/p>\n

Another trick to this whole equation is exactly how much I would be paying for the house. Because there won’t be a selling agent, I can possibly talk down my landlord’s asking price. It wouldn’t amount to much in the monthly payment, but every little bit helps.<\/p>\n

Once again, that listing is at http:\/\/www.craigslist.org\/sby\/roo\/10600507.html<\/a>. Holy crap, there’s a lot of listings on craigslist right now. This is so depressing.<\/p>\n

On a completely unrelated note, I got DDRMAX2 in the mail today. I have an excuse to start DDRing again. Yay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
