Many people who used to go over there , including myself , stopped pretty quick . Even though I live in the suburbs , I was still playing for a while . When Niantic started disabling features and downgrading the game tracker , that was the last straw for me . <| sep |> Ours varies big time , we plan for it to be it ' s lowest . Any recurring monthly expenses we plan to be able to cover with our lowest income . Beyond that , things come out of savings . Other options would be to save up enough to cover expenses for a year or two if yours expenses do exceed your minimum . <| sep |> If you ' ve got a 1600 sq ft house to yourself , you ' re probably making a decent amount of money to begin with right ? And if you ' ve got housematesfamily living with you it ' s pretty cheap if you split it . Once you think about how many hours it would take for you to clean it yourself , it makes a lot of sense to just get someone else to do it especially since they ' d do a hell of a lot better of a job at it than you likely ever could . In the end I guess cleanliness is subjective and if a light cleaning you can do will satisfy you then that ' s all you need , but at least to me I ' d rather know that it was done properly even if I had to pay a bit more to do it .
