NWR: Need advice on 2 separate questions.....UPDATE

1. If you were going to a place that was the seen and be seen type would you rather spend $120 on
a) an upgraded car like a convertible
or
b) a killer outfit

Also if you were given the option to either stay in your current apt but pay $100 more in rent or move downstairs and pay $100 less in rent (for almost the same exact apt just the LR is slightly smaller) which would you choose?
1) stay where you are and fork up the extra $100
2) move downstairs & save an extra $100

Thanks in advance

UPDATE:

1) I got the killer outfit tonight...it's hard to describe, it's a halter dress in black with blue designs on it and a handkerchief type skirt.
(I'm going to Miami alone for 4 days next month)

2) We ended up staying put, but not by choice. Our landlord told us today someone took the apt downstairs. So we're just splitting the extra $100 in rent per month equally between us.

Killer outfit

I'd stay in the upstairs apartment because I hate people living above me. It's so loud!!!

I'd stay upstairs less noise, you don't have to deal with neighbors above you.

Re: NWR: Need advice on 2 separate questions.....

I probably should have mentioned.....we have our landlord living upstairs from us right now, so no matter what apt we have there's someone living above us!!

Re: NWR: Need advice on 2 separate questions.....

1. The outfit. Always. Can be used over and again. Unless you are rolling up in a unique one of a kind type car... not many people are going to notice anyway.

2. Is this 100 less than current (ie you are now paying $1000 but can stay and pay $1100 or move and pay $900) I would MOVE. That is a savings of $2400 per year! Even if it was simply moving to pay only $100 less than upstairs... I would move. it is an apartment... you won't be staying there forever and rent is essentially flushing money down the toilet each month... I would rather keep the extra hundred for myself.

Yes it is. We're paying $1500 and it's either stay and pay $1600 or move downstairs and pay $1400. The only downside is the downstairs is a semi-basement.

Upstairs. I've done both and up is a little more private and worth it.

Agree...

Like some have said already, the apt upstairs is quieter.

As for the see & be seen place... Totally the outfit.. more people will see you in the outfit than will see you in the car!
