An apartment

Apartment listing

Here's a decent looking studio. $240k, $440 maintenance. But even if I put 20% down, I can't afford it. I'm not too far off, but the monthly costs would work out to about $1,555, which means I'd spend every penny of my paycheck unless I made some fairly significant lifestyle adjustments. Would it be worth it? Is it realistic to expect that I could really spend a lot less on my other expenses than I did last year? Hmmm....
