abstract: Current rental: $1250/month, 800 sqft, walkable college town, cozy but cramped for two WFH adults and a large dog. Proposed upgrade: $1700/month, 1600 sqft, fenced backyard, attic storage, 3BR/2BA, in a culturally vibrant nearby city with existing social ties. Decision hinges on trade-offs between immediate quality-of-life improvement, savings discipline, uncertain local tenure (<1 year), and openness to relocation or home purchase.
