Not to sound ugly. Unless you are settled down, own a home etc I would be extremely hesitant to get a burm or retic.
I keep seeing craigslist full with burms and retics because (as stated) someone got married, moved, apartment didn't let them have it, lost job etc etc
You really need to be hard and honest with yourself before taking that step. It takes a passion, a committed LONG term effort and considerable expense to keep them properly.
If you have that...I too would pick a burm over a retic for the reasons stated. They tend to be a little easier to handle. Although there are some sick retic color morphs out there.
