The question of what to do?

So we were offered a two bedroom duplex on base on Monday. We drove past it and the outside looks nice. We get to look at a place (not the place we would move in) but a place that is the same size and everything on Thursday and we'll make our choice then. We also got an offer to move into a house with one of Joe's co-workers. So we are just trying to figure out what's the best choice. I kind of like the idea of being on base just because of the convince of being close to Joe's work and that it will be so much easier to take Joe to work to get the car. If we moved into the house it would be out of town, we'd have to switch wards and I like our ward. But the house we'd only be paying like $300ish a month which we would be banking a much because of how much we get in BAH (base allowance housing). So we'd be making about $500 a month!
So we've also been looking at ways to save. We so far have cut back on our cell phone plan. We did have data on our phones which we cut out to save about $30 a month. We are just hoping for a place big enough to move all our stuff out of the storage unit. If we move on base we can cancel our renters insurance because they have their own on base. So it's all up in the air. I just don't know what to do or how we'll like the place. I guess I'll let you know what goes on when Thursday rolls around.

  1. Housing is a bear, and so are finances. Good luck. But, just remember to do what is best for you and Joe and the little babe! And switching wards isn't the worst thing that could happen. You still have friends from that wards, and I'm sure you'd make new ones, cause you're really good at making friends. Love you!

  2. I agree with your sister....You just need to sit down and really way the pros and cons.
