I live here, in SF, and I live in a 1913 Edwardian apartment and I don't think I'd give up my 500 sq ft rent controlled apartment for a tiny box. We do have the usual plumbing problems, noise issues, and the occasional crazy person trying to break in the main door, but I love it here and it's exactly what I need. Because who would want to give up 8" molding and original hardwood floors? Not me. I might not live in the city forever, but I want to enjoy it while I can.

I have this problem. I'm on the bottom floor and the people above me are really loud. They play music, he sings, yells at his video games and they move around furniture. They've also had an industrial fan that made such a high pitch sound it was giving me migraines. I asked them to turn everything down, but I've just learned to deal with it (at least they stopped with the fan!). I think it comes with a 100 year old building. I can hear my neighbors to my right and left as well, so I guess I'm just as loud.

I put things away in the correct place, otherwise I get stressed out if I can't find something later. It probably takes just as long. I categorize my piles and then put them away.

I've definitely learned a few things in the last year.
1) don't rack up credit bills but use responsibly to build your credit- esp when you're young
2) you don't always have to listen to your parents- mine didn't want me to get a dog but I did and she's the best thing thats happened to me.
3) even if you think you want that super cute shirt, bag, and shoes- that will pay for the months bills.

I love this formula! I always way over pack or under pack.

My friend almost got kicked out of the Duomo in Milan for wearing Leggings, a dress (turtleneck), and a cardigan.. because her dress was too short! Yet another girl we were with got let in wearing leggings as pants.
