This is exactly why I moved here. The apartment I lived in before was $409 a month. But it was a piece of crap. I was embarassed to have friends over. Much less have a date over to have a nice romantic dinner.
I made the decision to move somewhere nicer and to increase my rent by more than 60% in order to not be embarassed to have people over. Did it work? No. Not at all. In fact, I have fewer people over now because I am even more embarassed of this apartment than I was of the previous one.
Do I feel like my money has been well spent? No. Not at all.
