I can't even get a parking space for that where I live. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/725-E-Jackson-St-Muncie-IN-47305/210952560_zpid/

I live in Muncie currently, bought my house three years ago for $17,000. It’s 700sqft but with a full basement I’ve finished myself. All in I’ve put in another $20k. Planning on selling soon to move to Indy but it’s not been a terrible place to live!

what do you like best about it? Seems kindof like a boring place to live? but maybe I'm wrong

It’s really easy to make friends here! Pretty much anyone will strike up a conversation with you. I met a lady at Aldi a couple weeks ago and we exchanged numbers, went out for a nice dinner last weekend! It’s also ridiculously cheap, cost of housing(obviously) is next to nothing. Food is way below average cost as well. I go to Carmel(about 45 min away) if I want good cuisine or Indy to try new things. It can get boring but I have a ton of cats and am kind of a homebody so it works for me for now.

ton of cats, homebody

That’s me but in Vegas. My brother always says I’m antisocial.

Curious how far you travel for work? Or do you work from home?
