re: would you spend the extra money?

Quoting XavierRose:" I was going to ask how your building made out. My parents just got back into theirs on Thanksgiving"

Pretty much destroyed   Still not livable. Finally moved the last of my things out today. It's so sad. I'm glad that your parents are back in theirs!

Btw, im totally not creeping on you or anything, i just remembered thinking DAMN!

Quoting empire state of mind:" It's not going to be coming out of my spending money in Greece. I think I will do it if I decide to fly nonstop. Can't understand why flights to Greece are so damn expensive as it is!"

When I was researching Greece (as a possible place to live a couple years back) everything is just insanely expensive over there. Housing, food, travel.....it's all sky high.

Did they give you a timeline at all? That sucks so bad, I'm sorry. My dad lost his car, got completely submerged

Quoting XavierRose:" I flew first class with the kids. Phx to JFK, it was so much easier than flying coach, even for a 4.5 hour flight"

I'm sooo not looking forward to coach with kids FML

Yea that's one reason I'm doing a tour where everything is included.

Well the guy said he HOPES December 15. But I broke my lease anyway. It was up in January and I just want to live home and save for a while.

I am totally jealous - I've wanted to go for ages, but that seems like the only sensible solution money-wise unless you've got an insane income.

The sucky part is now that I DO have money I don't know how to spend it. I'm still in the poor mindset of "That's too expensive" with EVERYTHING.

Not necessarily a BAD thing, though. Could be a good time to just squirrel away money.

Yea I def want to save a lot now too for the future. So it does come in handy that I rarely buy myself things.

Good luck! I was thinking about you when I heard how bad my parents' building got hit.
