I’ve decided to stay at home for a couple more years and save money for a down payment on a studio of my own.  Rent is ridiculous around here!  They want $1.50 to $2.00 per square foot.  I need 1,000 sq ft.  That’s $1500 - $2000 PER MONTH not including utilities, and other expenses.  I can buy a building for that! And have something to show for all the money when I’m done.

So I’ll save my money for now.  Maybe when I find a building it will have an apartment upstairs that I can rent out to pay for the taxes and upkeep.  Or I can rent it out to other teachers, artists, dance teachers, etc. at a reasonable rate.
