“Look, all your friends already live with their families, or separately. Don’t you want to live alone?” – From time to time my mother brings up the subject of moving.
I don’t know why I displeased her so much, but since my graduation from university all I hear is her advice on moving. Once she and my father even started looking for an apartment for me, but I managed to stop them by saying that nowadays it is expensive to rent a place alone.
None of my relationships were serious enough to start living together, and I don’t want to pull an apartment on my own. Neither do I want to share it with a roommate I don’t know. But it’s more about the money.
My work is quite modest, and renting an apartment, even in an old house nowadays is expensive. If I spend money on rent, I will have not to live, but to survive, denying myself many products. As long as I live with my parents, I can afford to save, buy a new phone or laptop and meet friends in cafes. Otherwise, it becomes expensive and unaffordable for my wallet.
If only my parents wanted to listen. They have only one thing in mind: how to marry me quickly and evict me from my room. And this is despite the fact that I am as quiet and calm as possible, mostly busy with work. I do not disturb them in any way, I work five days a week, and for the remaining days I try to go somewhere else. I understand that my parents think my desire to live with them is not self-sufficient, but for me it is just a way to save money and save more for the future. That’s when I save up enough, will know for sure that at least a year will be able to rent a house and not worry about money, then move and think about it.
