While you didn’t state your actual income and expenses, you did say you don’t have money to keep both properties without it being “tight.” Are you factoring in the hidden costs to owning a home, beyond your mortgage payment? Not only should you account for property taxes and homeowners insurance, but you need to be prepared for maintenance issues that will need to be promptly addressed once they come up. I think the only way you can afford to purchase a home, though, is to give up the rent-controlled apartment. It sounds like someone who’s trying to make do with our current market. Can you tell me if this plan sounds wild? We both grew up poor and the only reason we have savings is because we’ve been in our tiny cheap apartment for so long, so we don’t know anyone who has purchased a vacation house. Rather than try to make quick money off of the house, we’d consider the extra expense a long-term investment since the area we’re looking at only ever increases in value. We both work remotely so we’d be able to spend as much time as we want there while still having an apartment close to friends and amenities in the city. Our apartment is affordable enough that we think we can swing both rent and a mortgage (though it will be tight). We’d like to take the money we’ve saved for a down payment and purchase a vacation home about two hours away. I had been feeling really down about missing the real estate boat, but now I’m excited about a new idea we’ve been discussing-but I need to know if it is realistic or if there are pitfalls we aren’t considering. Now that the market is a little calmer, anything we like in our city is far outside our budget. We considered buying a home at the beginning of the pandemic, but the competition was too fierce for us. We love where we live and we have a great relationship with our landlord, but we dream of having more space. Her willingness to share her imperfections and constant journey of self-discovery, and appreciation are stark reminders that nothing and no one can define you, but you.My partner and I live in a below-market rental in a very expensive city. She remained the funny, bright, open woman fans love. What's inspiring about Slate is that during her whirlwind, tabloid-filled romance with Evans, she didn't lose her identity.

Of course. Slate's optimistic outlook on life after love may sound like a difficult mindset to attain. It’s filled with air, freedom, sunlight, and I’m alone.” I’m not thinking about whether or not they are going to be a fun person to be on the lawn with, because I am just trying to be on the lawn. And if anybody tried to approach me right now, they’re seeing a creature that’s just trying to figure out what the lawn is like. She said, "The way I feel now is I’ve stepped out of the woods and I’m a forest animal and I’m standing on the lawn. Instead, she's stepping "into the light" and enjoy the pleasure of her own company. Since she is busy and has her new film Gifted coming out in April, she can't spend too much time in despair. Like anyone who's broken up with a partner, Slate is simply picking up the pieces and plotting her next move. But now, after such a high-profile breakup, she's doing Hollywood her way. She told Vulture, “I’ve never lived on my own, because I really did go from one relationship to another my whole life, so I’ve never had a chance to go really girlie.” Slate was married to editor and director Dean Fleischer-Camp prior to getting with Evans. Slate said renting a new apartment and decorating it the way she always wanted to symbolized her new-found freedom.

Slate said, "I was like, 'You need all new things. The comedian opened up to Vulture about how she combatted her loneliness with a little help from her friends and purged almost "everything she owned." Although actor Jenny Slate split from action star Chris Evans, she took a lesson from her days on Parks and Recreation and decided to "treat herself" to a new apartment for a fresh start. However, reemerging from heartbreak and finding the strength to move on is a pretty universal experience. Going through a breakup in the public eye is unfathomable for those of us outside of Hollywood.
