in spite of everything, i have to appreciate the serendipity of living in a time where i don't have to feel too ashamed about living with my parents at my age, although i do need to start thinking about my next move relatively soon
I agree, it's much more financially convenient for someone attending University. Why do you need to begin planning a move soon?

That's fair. Are you still an undergrad?
Moved out when I was 18. Had to come back for my last year of college because the rents started to go out of control in my University town. For three years, I could get a room for under 280 euro a month. That year, all rooms were in the region of 500. Ef that. Moved back to my parents for around seven months. Then moved to the city and have been living here for the last five years.Currently living with my landlord who is quiet and nice for the most part but has some odd things about him. SpoilerHe doesn't let me work from home. Even though most of the time you wouldn't even know I am at home. I wear headphones if I am watching something or playing games. I go out only to cook something in the kitchen. I've got an en-suite so we don't share the bathroom. Yet he still demands that I go to the office from 9 to 5. With the pandemic he basically couldn't do that and had to just deal with it. Even then he tried to pull a fast one a few times and asked me to go to my parents for a couple of days while he supposedly called in a cleaner crew to clean up the place. He texted me last week asking when is our office opening up and if I could just not work from home starting in August. Like he doesn't even care if the office would still be closed. I really don't give a shit at this stage. I have enough for a house down-payment and I have been approved for a mortgage. I am just waiting for this pandemic to end to buy my own place and no longer have to deal with renting and all the BS that comes with it.

On two occasions, two different ppl. With sleepovers.Its ridiculous. We have a pandemic and you bring randos in for a sleep-over?!
Question for anyone who can answer. How fast is it to get internet setup in a new place you move into? When I moved in with my brother six years ago and the place I'm in now, they already had their internet set up and I just paid them for the usage. Whenever I do get my own place I'd have to get my own plan but I don't really know where/how to start.
Do you live alone?
