Why such a long commute? I would think that would kill your budget alone with gas prices today!I like the finished houses, but...I have over 10,000 books. They're all in storage now anyway, because we're renovating, but I hate it. I've lived in one room in the current house for ages, it's now two (the others don't have internal walls, rain gets in, etc). It's often pretty miserable because you can't keep it clean and wild animals break in a lot. Hard with a three year old too. While I know people who have tiny makeshift places they adore, none have kds, or a 3-4 hour work commute like me. Living really frugally with things like space and heating can be problematic if you have nearly no time before bed during weekdays.
