>the only house i could afford is 75 km away and turned out to have a massive leak in the rotting plumbing
>>85439375So fix it you pussy. I had to buy a dump 70 miles (110 kilometers) from where I lived and do a ton of work to it, and I still have a ton left to do. Still worth it, and it's up like $100k since I bought it.
>>85439434The problem is that I don't have enough money to get this fixed.Also, how do you afford to drive 70+ miles each way for work, given the gas prices?
>>85440020>The problem is that I don't have enough money to get this fixed.I don't have enough to fix everything at once either. Sort the issues by how much they effect livability and attack the ones that do the most first. Do as much of the work yourself as possible to save money. Most contractor type work isn't actually very hard, after all, half the people who do it here are high school dropouts and felons who don't speak English; if they can figure it out, so can you.>Also, how do you afford to drive 70+ miles each way for work, given the gas prices?Toyota Corolla. Fucking fourty five (45) MPG.
