Recording life l The days after moving make me tangled

It's been three months since I moved into my new home. Recently, my mood has been fluctuating because of things at home.

I've been struggling with rent

The previous residence was actually not bad. The room was clean and square, with about four pings of space and a separate balcony. Although the toilet is a bit dirty and the roommate doesn't like to take care of it, it's barely acceptable. A bit far from the MRT station, but there is a ubike nearby. A month's rent is only 5,000 yuan, plus utilities, it's only about 5,300 yuan a month at most.

The house now has more public spaces such as living room and kitchen, and the rooms are larger than before. The public space is very clean. There are also many household appliances at home that I wanted to buy but could not afford, such as: vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, ovens, etc. can be shared . There are also more water dispensers, and it is closer to the MRT station. The rent is 7500 yuan a month. The average cost of water and electricity is about 1,000 yuan a month for one person, but because the landlord loves playing mahjong, the money he receives is about 430 yuan per month, and the average monthly rent is about 8,000 yuan.

I am a serious money saver. For me, the so-called "quality of life" is far inferior to "saving money". As long as the condition of the house is not too bad, such as: full of cancer, cockroaches running all over the floor, smelly, and living comfortably, I can actually accept it. Although there are more public spaces in my current residence, there are also a lot of electrical appliances that I couldn’t put in my home in the past and didn’t want to buy it. I can cook, I don’t have to go to the public library to fill up water often without the hassle, and it’s closer and more convenient to the MRT station.

But then I ask myself, "Do I need these things? Am I worse off without them?"

It doesn't seem to be, otherwise I wouldn't have lived in the previous house for more than two years.

So why did I choose to move in the first place?

Living alone for a long time, sometimes I feel very bored and lonely. Occasionally, I suddenly miss the days of living as a student. I've always wished I could move into a house with roommates, a group of roommates who would get along and spank when I was bored. I've been thinking about renting a family-style house for a while, but because of the rent, I haven't been able to give up. Until three months ago, I made the decision to move on impulse because I was in a very low mood at the time.

Now that I have a roommate, it should be my dream rental life now, right? Unfortunately not. I have two key words for my roommate expectations—getting along and spanking.

The current roommate is not bad, but the frequency is not right, and there are places that need to be run in. In the past three months, something big and small happened that made me feel a little prickly. Instead, I miss living alone. As for the specific situation of getting along with roommates, I think I will leave it in the next article and start a chapter to talk about it. But all in all, my ideal roommate relationship didn't really play out.

Although I am very stingy, and the rent of more than 3,000 yuan is also chattering, but if I get along with my roommates ideally today, and I also make good friends, I will feel that it is very "value for money". However, the current rental housing life is far from my ideal. I couldn't help asking myself, "What kind of change has the extra 3,000 yuan rent brought to my life?" Although the space has become more spacious, the equipment has become more, and the transportation has become more convenient, often in the dead of night , I have to keep convincing myself that "at least the living environment has gotten better". But because these are not what I care about very much, no matter how I convince myself, I still can't solve my entanglement about the extra 3,000 yuan in rent.

I know that some things have not been experienced, and the result will never be known. If I didn't choose to move three months ago, maybe I'd still be in the same house and be unhappy.

I don't know what the next days will be like, I hope to be able to integrate into everyone more and more.

Although I find it difficult.
