I'm in the same city (I live in wonderful western Washington State, not in Seattle but still in a relatively expensive part). But I'm in a duplex instead of a lovely basement apartment, with a yard and a garage and ~150 more square feet. My rent is only $25 or so more a month, though there will of course be a slight increase in utilities as well. Woo! In slightly more terrifying news - I've decided to go back to school again to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst!  I signed up for my first class today - and start in July.If my school district opts not to pay for it, total costs should be around 7k over a year and a half for tuition and books. Usually you are also required to pay for a current BCBA to supervise 5% of a 1500 hour practicum at roughly $75/hr. One of my bosses is a BCBA and said he'd do my supervision piece for free. Savings of at least $5.6k. Fuckin' score. My boss was going to bat for me today with Human Resources to get them to pay the 7k, so we'll see. Anyway, that should slow my house saving fund down by about 33%.
