I’m looking in nicer areas along the central coast and I have not really noticed rents come down at all. The place I was renting for the past 3 years in Rennaissance was due to increase to 1850 for a 2/2. I moved, found a cheaper place w/garage, but not nearly as new and nice, for 1700. Found out the unit I left got rented for 2250!!! WTF. So not worth it, no matter how nice, for an apartment w/no garage. Looking to maybe find a nicer, cheaper place, but it’s not happening. Don’t really like this place, but I have a limit how much I want to spend on rent.

This is key to what I’m saying. Jg doesn’t LIKE moving down, but the money aspect turned out to be more important.

April 9, 2008 at 11:30 AM #183587jpinpbParticipantBugs – it’s not just money. I could certainly “afford” more. But that will cut into what I like to set aside for savings (more money to put down on a house besides what I got already) Cut into play money for the little things I indulge in, a couple of dinners out or a weekend trip, which isn’t major. I cut corners and although liberal in many ways, quite financially conservative.
Paying more for rent is taking away from the ultimate goal, which is getting the house I really want, and cutting into lifestyle, if you can call it that, since I’m not a major consumer. But everything is relative. I don’t need the latest and greatest, but still have some nice things, just not abusive or excessive. If I want to send my mom back East flowers for Mother’s Day, I don’t want to have to think twice about that. That’s what I mean.
Everyone has a certain budget, but like most Piggs, we try to stay close to within our means and not overextend. I could, but I would not be comfortable, maybe have to cut corners somewhere else, or dip into savings, etc. Not worth it for a rental.
