The secret I've lived by ever since I started earning money is this: Always buy a house with an extra bedroom adjoining the master. And that's always my closet.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things.
I have three closets in my bedroom.
One of the side benefits of staying in the closet is you can have a much bigger career.
I have a very all-over-the-place lifestyle. The people I know who are married - 90 percent of them have houses and live in the same place and sleep in the same bed every night.
Going from sharing a one-bedroom place to living in a loft to two people living in a house to me having my own place by myself has kind of mirrored my career... small steps to bigger, to bigger, to now having a steady job.
I don't have to be making a lot of money or living in a fancy house.
We have been roommates our entire lives. We just bought a place together.
I grew up in a two-bedroom house with my grandfather, my mom and dad and four kids. I slept on the couch or on the floor, and I always wanted to have my own space.
I have a whole closet in my house that's dedicated just to jackets and coats, stuff that I've collected over the years.
I lived in a studio apartment until my mid-30s. I don't have an extravagant lifestyle.
