Answer:

Th answer is: She definitely made the right choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

As an economics major and a rational human being I can firmly state that Fiona is not only saving $625 per month in rent and utilities, but also on several different aspects of her life that will probably boost her productivity. She is not only saving money on the rent, she probably is also saving some money (and time) in transportation costs. Also she´ll probably save money on other expenses that are usually not considered important but can be significant, for example:

  • Food and beverages: it´s always cheaper to eat at home.
  • Clothing: if her work doesn´t require clients to personally visit her office, she can save money by wearing regular daily clothes instead of more fancy office type garments.
  • Etc.

Besides the previous advantages, not seeing and dealing your ex-anything again, as Mastercard said it, is PRICELESS.
