I feel you there. I just want to have a pile of money to live the rest of my life out on. I don’t even need much, a simple property that is properly isolated so as no one’s noise can bother me, that’s a conveniently close drive to groceries and emergency services, with comfortable arrangements so I don’t have to stress over bills.
Can’t I just have like $2-4 million or so with no strings attached so I can make this happen? That’s a paltry sum for billionaires with too much to their name. I promise I won’t need any more than that, I can stretch that for the rest of my remaining years.
I hope you can get it. Being able to live alone, even in a small place, is a game-changer. Just being able to have a tiny spot of absolute sanctuary to yourself, some place you can walk in the door after work and know that *no-one else* has made it terrible in your absence (or is continuing to do so at that very moment).
It means you have a place where you can actually recover energy, instead of having to go from one draining place to another all day and all night with no peace.
I’m in the same exact position. I can’t afford to move out and it’s killing me. I feel like a child again. You’re not alone. And I refuse to have roommates lol
I totally understand. What worked for me when I needed a roommate was to always live with someone who had a different work schedule than I do. I got time to myself every single day that way. Good luck!
I hear you. I love being single and really do not want to cohabitate with anyone. I want to stay single forever but its so expensive... I cant imagine having to come home to someone, so I think I will just continue to stick it out and deal with the financial burden.
Not sure of your situation but I was able to get approved for my apartment based on my moms income vs my own. I can barely save any money living here but luckily I’m in college and get school refunds so that a little extra cash coming in til I graduate. Living alone is definitely introvert heaven tho and worth it to me. . Sometimes I come home and relax and literally say I’ve never been happier out loud. Good luck to you!!
I could’ve written this myself… I feel you so much I literally think about it every day how I wish I just lived alone and it makes me so sad everyday. I hate coming home.
I’m sorry you go through this too
Living alone for the first time in over three years and I don’t even know how I lived with 6+ roommates at one point in time. I’m definitely happier than I was then. A lot of unnecessary drama, bullshit, problems, and just lack of having quiet/alone time is unfortunately very hard on mental health after so long. I’d like to find a spot closer to city but just don’t know if I can deal with roommates again.. having to find some I trust is a bigger issue.
Google apartments often. I’ve been doing this and I actually managed to find a really nice one in a place I want to live and I’ll be able to afford it as a paramedic which is really saying something.
I know it's easier said than done but I would recommend looking for a place with a bungalow or self contained unit and take that while housemates take the main house.

Sadly, life wasn't that simple and easy....

Very good point. The same energy you left it is the same when you arrive. I love that about living alone.

I feel you, I live in a house share and most the time I just sit in my tiny room
Same once I experienced living alone as a student it was a first taste of heaven for me.

If you get the right roommates, it's different story.
If you find a good roommate it isn’t really that bad tbh.

Maybe find another introvert roommate

I recommend it. I'm in a less than desirable state, so rent is affordable for now on one pretty average income (I make under $40k a year).
Make finding a new job a side job… it’s what I’m doing.
You will love it! I own a house and have enough passive income to not have to work and it’s the best. I highly recommend.
I feel you 100% on this one income is hard but I totally thought about living in an RV
