Boring Digs

I recently gave notice to my landlord that I’m moving. My wife and I didn’t have many good reasons to move other than the fact that we wanted a change of scenery - we are simply bored with our current place.

Cute Little House

We started apartment hunting, and after we looked at about a half-dozen places, we found the perfect little gem of an apartment. It’s a new addition to a house. It has a yard, a washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and free high-speed Internet, which are all things the previous apartment didn’t have. It’s also $40 a month cheaper.

We paid our deposit the very next day, and we sign the paperwork tomorrow. We are really excited to be moving to a newer, nicer, cheaper apartment.

Business Lesson

As I thought about moving and what I could write as a blog post, this lesson came to mind: even if your current situation is good, a little extra work and a little careful searching can make your situation better. Never stop moving forward or improving things. You can always do better. The payoff can be incredible, too. We’ll be saving nearly 10% on rent!
