I seemed to have missed last week’s FridayFive 1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life? Seven?

• 3 years - House I don’t remember in Abington, PA
• 19 years - House I grew up in Lansdale, PA
• 1 year - Shunk Hall, State College, PA
• 2 years - Sigma Chi Fraternity, State College, PA
• 1.5 years - Ohio Hall, Erie, PA
• 2 years - Green Lane, PA
• 5 months - Blue Bell, PA

2. Which was your favorite and why? My favorite house had to have been theone I grew up in. I loved that house. It was the best place for a kid to grow up becausewe backed up to woods and a pond. It will always be special because of the amountof memories it holds. 3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why? Movingsucks. And I recently found out it’s hella expensive. I hate the fact that it can’tbe done independently too. For some reason I feel bad inconveniencing people by makingthem carry couches and furniture. 4. What’s more important, location or price? I’mthe type of person that always analyzes the opportunity cost. I think in the end theextra cost would be worth getting the better location. Plus, if you’re buying, it’sgoing to appreciate anyway. 5. What features does your dream house have (pool,spa bath, big yard, etc.)? I often have the feeling that the two bedroom, 2.5bath townhouse I’m living in now is too big (even with a roommate). Go figure. I thinkmy ideal house would be cozy … or maybe just personal. I wish I had the money, time,and ambition to personalize the space I currently have. Obviously my dream house wouldalso have a bar, garage for my car(s), and a kickass entertainment system. Hopefullyit will also include a beautiful wife and the sweetest children.
