One bedroom apartment (check out
http://www.mindspring.com/~ffilz/Lego/apartment.html
For some pictures of my bedroom. Most of my LEGO sets are unbuilt, about
1/3 to 1/2 are broken down and sorted, at most 10% are built.
How do I handle it financially? Well for starters I don't have a huge
mortgage. I'm not living in the most desireable part of town. I don't
smoke or drink. I drive a 1987 Acura Integra (bought 2.5 years ago,
chosen for its reliability). I tend to eat relatively cheaply. I haven't
upgraded my home computer for several years (running a plain ole Pentium
100), though I do also own a laptop (actually two) - it's actually
faster, a Pentium 120, but it doesn't have as good a video.
Of course the biggest factor is no spouse to tell my how I can spend my
money... I do have to watch myself though, I have dipped a little too
far into the house down payment.
