Message: <blockquote data-quote="Herobizkit" data-source="post: 5298571" data-attributes="member: 36150">Hello, fellow gamers.I am returning to school for the first time since 1998 (yay!) and I am in the middle of getting things secured to move.  I already have a place to live; a childhood friend has agreed to house me for a few months while I get settled.  Problem is, he lives 40 minutes from the school, and I have no car - which means I'd have to take a bus at 5:30 am to get to school by 8:30, and then bus home... all in all, 4 hours a day on buses, I'm away from home all day (re meals) and I'm pretty much on time to go to bed when I finally get home.Now, I've found a tentative place close to school, a room in a shared house, which is only a 10 min walk from school.  Problem is, I have extremely limited income and requires a damage deposit which pretty much caps my free money until the start of October (when I start collecting E.I. - unemployment's paying for some of my school).I won't know about the new place until tomorrow, and I'm going crazy trying to figure out which 'plan' is going to go better for myself.  My pal suggested I try living there a month, and if it's too expensive, I can still move in with him... but I'll still have that crazy commute.  I also have a much better chance of getting a decent part-time job if I'm in the city as the buses don't run on weekends out his way.I'm going nuts, and I know it isn't even a thing until I confirm the room close to school... what makes more sense?  There is no wrong answer, I guess... it's saving money at the expense of time, or saving time at the expense of money.  Given that haven't been to school in over a decade, I'd think I want to maximize my available time, but my finances are limited...*head asplode*</blockquote>
