Hmm second one looks nice, price a tad high for me but we'll see if I can find a deal or not!
You house payments are that low? I assume you must not live in a city or something.

Cities are so eww.
Yeah, her price is a bit high considering what you get.
Don't get me wrong, she's a nice-looking figure, but considering she's only 1/8 scale [and, honestly, pretty small] I feel she's about 4k yen more than she should be. That KanColle tax, though. :/
I'm happy with her regardless.

How big is your house?
I always like spending time in busy cities, not sure I could handle living in one. Like I like going to San Francisco but would never live there.
green acres is the place to be, farm living is the life for me.
for reals, living int he country is awesome AS LONG AS YOU HAVE DECENT INTERNET. Until recently I was stuck with DSL and it was some straight up bullshit.
That said, of the big cities I've been too I would be happy to live in Tokyo, Madrid, or Barcelona. Doubt it'll ever happen though.

Alright I'm back from Comic Con!
Time to sift through waaaay too many photos. Most of them aren't "good" composition wise, but when you've got 15 seconds and a bunch of tired cosplayers I'm not complaining.
Also some street photos, I hope some of those turned out good.

3 bedrooms, 1.5 stories. Its a cape cod style.moderate sized living room and dining room.
I've repurposed two of the bedrooms, one holding all my collectibles, the other is my office.
Where I want to live is technically nowhere near a city, but it's so nice to the point that a 1bed 1bath is nearly $850. The closest city is Indianapolis so it's weird that it's so expensive.
holy shit
that house where I live would probably be 1.5m, easy. Fuck California.
I've been to Indianapolis a few time for GenCon, and you're right, that is weird. Indianapolis is a shit-hole.
I grew up near Los Angeles and the house I live in now in central NY (3 bed 2 bath 0.5 acre land) would be outrageously expensive there. My brothers pay more to rent in LA than I do to own here, by far.

Hrm 8 GBs of photos... not TOO bad I guess haha.
I'm not buying a house until I make a good amount of money.

I pay around $750 for a 2-story (3 beds, 2 baths) about an hour North of NYC. It's starting to get a bit more crowded around here, though. So I'm toying with the idea of moving South. North Carolina or so. Plus
I really don't wanna be this close to NYC when the terrorists finally nuke it
I like Indy.
sorry, no offense intended. Maybe it's just the area around the convention center, but I hate it. I'm sure there are some good parts.
Yo dawg, I used to live 23 floors up in a high-rise apartment. It was baller to lord over people and be 2 blocks from school.
Do you want to be the big spoon or the little spoon?
Yeah, I'm in the Bay Area and the tech millionaires have driven the prices up so much. I visit family in Michigan and they're paying $400 a month to rent an apartment that would be $2k a month easily here. Shit is ridiculous.
It's even worse in SF where an equivalent apartment is more like $3.5k a month.

Yeah, I don't think detolf will protect pvc against nuke, may be I should move away from Los Angeles.
$1500 a month for mine, 3 beds, 1 bath. I wish my job is somewhere cheaper, I could get all the ship girl nendoroid.

Maybe I just need to buy a house instead of looking at apartments.
I like Indy.
I liked living in Indy until I moved to San Antonio for 5 years. Came back to Indy and I just can't appreciate it anymore. Feels like there's nothing to do here.
Also bought this off a guy on MFC.
Been doing a lot of good business on there recently, both selling and buying. Well except for the Lili figure I sent someone that got stolen off of his porch. :/ Felt bad for him so I just gave him his money back.

If someone drops a nuke on the US, I want to be in the blast. Being a survivor would be so much worse.
Mine's 3 bedrooms, too, but just single story, 2008 construction. I've basically done the same thing... one of the spare bedroom is my office/figures room, the other is the spare bed and the cat's room. So glad to be out of apartment living.
Only consistently annoying downside to finding a relatively new house for cheap on the newer side of town is that I basically cannot buy a house in this city and get any further away from where I work, lol...so my commute is pretty bad (by this city's standards, not by Big City standards).
It's my first house and there are definitely some things I'd do differently for picking out a second purchase if I move, but, eh, it's more than good enough for me and my cats and, best of all, it's paid off so now my monthly living expenses are basically just insurance which is even cheaper than renting a crummy apartment.
My mom gives me a hard time about having such an "empty" house lol... besides the spare dining room table I have, I could easily fit all my stuff back into a roomy 1-bedroom apartment (like I had before), but no way am I going back to that unless I have to :v
I know this feel. but overall I'm pretty happy in my place. Probably should have planned an extra extra room for figs though. The office is feeling a bit cramped and I haven't even put the second and third shelves up yet. I'm trying not to think too hard about what will be come of my display areas if we have a kid.

mines 1950s!
I like it though, its well built and the kitchen and bathroom were updated in the 00s so both are nice.

1947 for me. We almost bought a house built in 1890, but things fell apart a little during the inspection.

It all depends on where you are. Anything near a major city isn't going to be cheap.
WAT? That makes no sense to me.

Yea NYC can be pretty eww, but I've grown too accustomed to living here. If I move, it will have to be another city.
I also don't know how to drive due public transportation. I would need to learn to drive if I moved anywhere other than a city.
Death sounds way better than chaos, famine, strife and uncertainty.

Many people with drivers licenses don't know how to drive, either.
I would say you could come spoon me in the apocalypse but I live near NORAD HQ so we're a target for a nuclear strike too.You act as if the rest of the country would suffer the same.
Troofs.
Also we're getting off topic

Jesus Christ. Mine is multiples of what you guys pay, and I live in a fucking cracker box. *slits wrist*
I'm imagining how many more figures I could buy with that money...
I love my STi so much. Person goes slow in the left lane. Move to the right lane at a stoplight. Person gets butthurt and tries to block me out. I have 300 horsepower and there's nothing they can do. Feels good man.
