I'm thinking about getting an apartment
Don't get me wrong I love my family and would still live at home,but I have this fantasy. :evilgrin:

I want to know what it would feel like to walk into a room that was just as clean as I left it. :silly:

2. How old are you?
I'd say do it if you can afford it. Even though when I first moved to my own apartment I wasn't making much (and living from paycheck to paycheck and sometimes having to use my credit cards) it was still the right decision. I would suggest that you sit yourself down with monthly expenses and income, check out the rental rates in your area and see if you can swing it.

Investigate good areas to live in where you can walk around and meet people. When you're single and living alone this is all important.

3. Sometimes I think my wife would like me to get an apartment
because she hates walking into a formerly clean room after I've been in it a while....

Hey, are you my wife?!! ;-)

8. It would be so nice to have a *quiet* place to sit and read a novel
without children screaming, animals barking/whining/meowing for no apparent reason and no hubby asking Honey, have you seen ________ (fill in the blanks with something like "my socks", "the ketchup", "this funny rash on my arm")


*sigh*
