So. It turns out we have to buy a fridge.
Wait. Let me back up.
With the last ‘Schuberts go house hunting‘ installment, I talked about how with the current house market, we had decided NOT to buy a house this spring, but instead move into a larger apartment for at least a year. Continue to save money, but have a bit more space.
The same day (or maybe the day after) I posted that, we went and looked about about 6 different apartment units (in 4 different buildings).
And it turns out we …

I bet you’re all wondering what we’re still doing in this tiny apartment and when we’re going to be tired of it.
Done. Tired of it.
Here’s the latest update in our house-hunting adventure.
As of June 14 when we moved into our current place we had about enough for a decent downpayment (about 10%) in savings for the house.
My grand plan was to spend the next 6-9months furiously saving $$ so we had another several thousand.
Using the base as a down payment and also having enough saved for closing costs and some …

This coming weekend we are moving …
from our bedroom in the parents’ house to a tiny studio guest house at someone else’s house.
Michelle decided for a few different reasons that ultimately she did not want to move to California …. so we started looking for a 1bdrom apartment just for us.
Some of you may be wondering why we’re not buying a house – especially because that is pretty much all I ever talk/think about – and trust me, we’ve thought about it.
But – really – in California, the budget …

Still living with the Schuberts. Still researching for housebuying in the not-far future.
Planning on getting into an apt sometime in May/April depending on Michelle. More on that later.
But for now …
I’d like to take this opportunity for a public thank you to Fernando and Jessica. Because they bought a house, and are inviting Andrew over to hang out (and help renovate), Andrew has FINALLY expressed an interest in buying a house. It’s taken … what? 5 or so years of me totally obsessing over wanting to buy a house for …

part 1Well, more has been decided and less is up in the air.
A few weeks ago, we got an email from Michelle, detailing her dilemma. The pros and cons of moving to CA, why she was still undecided, when she needed to decide, etc.
Luckily for her (ha!), I love giving advice. I happen to think I’m smart at some things and if you ask me for advice, I’m going to give it to you.
So I told Michelle basically the same thing I told Lisa:
Don’t worry about what other people think. …

Part 1 of … who knows how many. …
Since we currently live in a bedroom at my in-laws, Andrew and I are constantly in a state of house hunting. Mostly mental up to this point, but options are changing and I intend to inundate you all with the developments.
A lot of people wonder what exactly we’re doing, living where, moving when, etc. If we have any plans at all or intend to mooch off of Andrew’s parents forever.
As of right now, we are waiting to find out if Michelle will …
