Living in a multigenerational household is becoming a common solution to dealing with money issues. After all, the benefits are plentiful. There's usually someone to look after the children, which means there's no need for expensive daycare costs, and household and utility expenses can be split up among more people. Further, if someone happens to unexpectedly lose her job, those who can afford it Read more
Sometimes gawking at celebrity homes gives me an altered sense of reality. And when the realization that a $20 million home with a 13-car garage is not in my future sets in, it can be a downer. That said, these starlets and style-setters who invest so heavily in real estate often do have great taste in interior design.

I'm glad I had a chance to sample everything, but it all helped me appreciate Read more
A good friend of mine loved her third floor apartment in a charming, historic San Francisco apartment building, even if it didn't have a reliable working elevator. Then she had a baby, and hauling her bouncing baby boy, groceries, and a stroller up three flights of stairs lost its charm. She's since moved into another upper floor apartment in another building — this one with a modern, efficient Read more
Whenever I use Craigslist for apartment hunting, I tend to gravitate toward the listings with pictures, sometimes even eliminating those without altogether by checking the "has image" box. It seems like a no brainer: if you have an amazing place and want to grab the attention of a lot of people, you would make sure they can see how fabulous it is. So without pictures, potential tenants are Read more
Just saying the words "apartment hunting" may send shivers down your back. It can be a frustrating roller coaster of emotions, with elation often followed by letdown as you realize Craigslist photos can be misleading, landlords and realtors can be less than truthful, and good places are often snagged fast. And you have to choose your priorities amongst numerous factors including square footage, Read more
I have a friend who is desperately trying to find a third roommate in order to stay in her dream apartment once the lease is up. She put up a Craigslist ad and has had a few responses. But finding a roommate on Craigslist isn't the same as using the online service to find a midcentury sofa, Taylor Swift concert tickets, or even an apartment. You are inviting a complete stranger to live in your Read more
