Fuck, dude, does anyone even give a shit anymore? Do I? Let's put things in perspective: I'm the dick forcing a family out of their home so I can pursue my greedy capitalist wealth fantasies. You're the kid that can't afford a roof over your head. Realistically speaking? Just that single line-item in the budget is going to drop FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS next month in moving out of LA and into the house we've owned since 2000. Fact of the matter is, my problems are aggravating and heinous but they're also problems of convenience. Yes, it will cost me $5k to move and another $3k to get the floors refinished before we can move back in. Yes, we can afford that. That's the advantage of being a grown-up.

My advice? Move in with roommates. They may be catastrophic but at least you get stories.

And bedrooms are hella cheaper than apartments.
