Ah LA and NYC used to be my two dream locations but the cost of living there is ridiculous. I know companies will usually pay you more to account for that but still, like Scientific Method said, I don't want to live in a shoebox of a house
I'm checking that calculator out right now. Right now I'm trying to go to college in Texas, either Austin or Houston, and that is where I'll probably find my job and start living when I graduate.
Texas feels like a great place to live though. Endless heat/sunshine, high speed limits, low property costs, Houston is something I'd really look into after graduation.
apply to ASU.. Tempe (and Scottsdale) are choice places
love it here.

I was going to go the Ikea rute just because I do need a table, couch, coffee table, dresser, tv stand, etc, and did not really want to drop 2 grand for a couch (even though I did see some nice ones).
Took the boat ride from wall street to BK, picked up all the parts for the couch, and when i went to get the legs for it, they did not have any in stock. Guy said they won't get anymore nor do they have them on the website. I even asked why the hell they are even selling the products without all the parts, he told me to go the home depot and make my own couch legs........never again will I ever go there.
But in the meantime I did get a few things from the FAB.com under $100 section for around the house (snapped with camera phone with minimal light).
shower curtain
Slate (good for meat and cheese plate which I put together often)
dish rack

It comfortable and can seats 3 people with 2 of them laying down. I think the Crate and Barrel - Era tables match it well. I want to throw a few more pillows on it eventually. Nice pillows are expensive.

How much does that couch run Mez? I think the nearest Ikea to me is like Dallas, which is close to 4 hrs. But he's right, you can buy or make your own legs although from a cust. service standpoint he sounds kind of douchey. There's tons on eBay, just search sofa legs and also table legs they'll be listed as but then the height indicate they are for couches. Wait is the frame on those proprietary? Is it even necessary?
I can't wait to move in, the anticipation is killing me. We set Dec 5 as closing date, I still am signing like a frillion papers daily and sending it off to the lender for processing.

I was going to get the couch with chaise but the chaise adds $400 alone, so I was going to get that sofa with an ottoman. The sofa in that color is $599, felt comfortable when I sat on it in the store.
I really want those subway signs from FAB, but they don't have a shea stadium stop

I'm just kidding
Things like that sign you posted all depend on the style of your place. Would they fit in mine? No. Would they fit perfect in other places? Sure. All depends on your decorating style.

I was thinking that I was gonna keep my place laid back eventhough it already looks like an overgrown dorm room. Im seriously considering riding the Subway in NYC late night with a boxcutter and "borrowing" some of the advertisements that I see on the Subway. the New Jameson one with him armwrestling is Bawse
