get my own place

Financial independence first.
Long term goal.

I have an interview coming up next week. Hopefully it goes well and I get the position.

It’s not that I don’t like my current job. They won’t make me full time, and the part time benefits aren’t really benefits at all really. I can hardly pay the bills I have, let alone get my own place.

This new job would have WAY better benefits and better pay. Not to mention, it would be a guaranteed 40 hours a week and regular hours (as opposed to my ‘here’s a night, here’s a morning, here’s a mid,’ that I have at my current job).

It would mean moving a couple hours away from home. I know it would be hard, considering it would be my first time completely by myself since bringing Annie home. But I believe that I’m strong enough to be able to do it. Plus, it would just be better for me and Annie in the long run.

I hope.

A couple of years ago, I jumped at the chance to get out of home for the very first time in my life. I didn’t care much if I had to work in a job that isn’t really my first choice so long as I can get out. For me, it meant freedom. Being able to do whatever it is I wanted to do without someone asking me what time I’d go home, nobody to remind me always… no more family complaints and arguments to listen to.

I had trouble adjusting at first. I was used to my mom waking me up every morning with my breakfast ready. Someone else will do my laundry, do the dishes, etc. When I left and stayed in a place with roommates and all, I had to do everything myself. I liked it. It felt like for the very first time in my life I was being independent.

Fast track to a couple of years, I actually got tired of all that. Well, not really. It’s my work I got tired of and I missed my family. So I went back temporarily at first. When my goals didn’t go well as planned I got stuck back here. At first it was good. But then the same old family issues I got tired of years ago is still here. People’s attitude are the same. I feel as if my energy is being drained. And I now feel I have to leave again or get my own place.

I just remembered that I probably can’t get a new place of my own as we assumed this house we are staying now under my name. Maybe I’ll just rent something or leave for another place again. Somewhere quite far so as to be away from these issues… get some peace and quiet. One thing is for sure, once I can pay all my remaining CC balances I’ll start planning for this. Maybe I’ll even start now…

So want to do this. I’m tired of irresponsible roommates and worse, having to crash at my mom’s after getting dicked over by irresponsible roommates. Now all I need is a better job, a good stash in the savings account, and a whole lotta luck. Eesh.

I Currently still live with my ex husband and our kids. I don’t have enough to move out with my kids yet. so I’m trying to save then relocate out of state. I never had my own place the moment I left my parents house I got married so I need to see how it feels to be on my own.

That I have spent over a year getting myself used to being in the state that I love (Oregon). It’s time to establish myself in a place of my own. I have taken time off, having adventures and being a temp, and have had so many joyful moments in my beautiful Fool Haven, but now I need to create a sacred extension of that Joy by living alone. I need to know what I’m like when I live alone. What are my likes and dislikes? What do I want to do? How do I handle myself, my life, my finances, my everything? It’s an important goal for me. I want to have children, and I want to push forward in other aspects of my life, and I think having time alone in my own space, being able to take care of it financially on my own, will be SO GOOD for me and for my future.

i live with my boyfriend at his moms house, we have our own room in the back and its almost like we have an apartment only with no kitchen no bathroom. dont get me wrong i love living there and its a lot more simple. i dont have a job right now and i’m just getting started in school so we only have his income. so financialy its good to stay here. but we’re 20 and im not sure what the moving out age is but it feels right to do so now. only, if we leave we leave for good theres no coming back. if we set out to do this its because we are ready.

I really wanted to stay at home my senior year of college but my mom and I argue all the time. She owes me lots of money and once I’m out of her house I’ll be free of her. I’m looking into apartments that don’t lease for a year just in case I find a job that requires me to move.

I had lived on my own, or with roommates or more recently my ex-husband, up until recently. Now I’m living in a house with my mom. She lives upstairs and I live downstairs and neither of us are ever at home much. But that doesn’t change that I desperately long to get my own place again. I just can’t afford it yet, I need to find a job!

i was planning to move out by the end of this month, but that’s not gonna work out. i don’t have enough money, and i’m still thinking whether it’s best to find my own place or find a room for rent instead. i guess i can’t afford finding my own place for now. but anyway, if i do rent a room, i still have to save up. so most likely i’ll be moving in november or something.

the consequence of not being able to achieve this goal is to pay rent for the current room. i’ll have to find out a way to do that (i’m currently staying with my aunt).
