OOOO my goodness you guys! Today Trent and I went to look at the new area we will be moving too next weekend. We went to several hotels and let me tell you, they were soooo gross. Sorry people who live in NJ, but this place is STUCK in the 90’s. You guys pay a ton of money for really nothing good. Again, sorry but so true. Take it from a girl who has lived all over, your stuff is over priced. However, we found this apartment right next to the gross hotel. They do short-term and month to month leasing. YAY. It is 735 sq ft, which is HUGE to me. I mean I seriously thought I died and went to heaven, but when it is 2x as big as the place I have been living in for the past year, I guess it would be huge. *Side not, I told Trent the first house we buy is going to be so small because our version of living space has been so small* Moving on though, living in the hotel would be the same amount a month as living in the apartment, but here is the catch. In the hotel we can check out whenever we have to no problem. In the hotel if we sign a 6 months lease it is 250 more a month than a 12 month lease. You are allowed to break your lease, no problem. The only thing is you have to give a 30 day notice and you have a penalty fee of one month rent. On top of a cleaning fee that gets taken out of the security deposit. So it would only make money sense to live there for 5 to 6 months. If we stay any less time we lose out on a bit more money. UGH. Decisions decisions.
So that is what is going on over here. Just having to make a choice on what to do with our living situation. Pray that God just makes it clear for us.
Nighty night
Life is full of these awkward choices. I know you guys will make the right decision.
Hugs,
Jeannie
Jeannie, I think we are picking the apartment. We actually will be in a better place financially with it, which is weird because it is so expensive, but so is living in a hotel. If/When we move I will take lots of pics 🙂 Thank you for your kind words. Hugs, right back at ya 🙂
I say as long as it doesn’t break you financially, go with where you’ll be the most comfortable. But that’s my opinion 🙂 I’m sure God will lead you to the right decision. Have a great day!
Thank you for the support. I am sure He will too. I think we are going for it 😉
Due to the fact that my decision making skills in terms of moving are severely lacking, I have no words of wisdom to share. Definitely sending thoughts and prayers your way and I can’t wait to see pictures of the apartment!
Hahaha. I love how you automatically assume I will get the apt and you will get pics 🙂 you will get picks in a couple weeks.
