How long have you lived within 25 miles of where you currently live?

The point of life is to optimize decisions, and that includes financial stability.

If financial stability isn't valued very highly, then one doesn't need to optimize for it.

You're the one bringing up financial concerns though, which leads us to believe it's something that weighs on you. If antenna locations are more important than having housing price stability, then I don't know what to say other than don't complain in a public forum about the price of things.

The thing is, the sooner one stops spending on rent and depreciating liabilities, the more they benefit. Having 20 years left is better than having 10 years left.
