What nobody talks about...

General Discussion

Nobody talks about how difficult it is to move alone in a country where the economy is a disaster... It's not easy to live comfortably in a tiny apartment because it costs the equivalent of a minimum wage, and on top of that you have to find a way to pay for utilities separately...

I used to live in a room where cooking and washing dishes was really uncomfortable, but it was the best I could do at the time because I was starting from scratch. I lived like that for a long time, and eventually I got tired of settling for it. I thought the only solution was to leave and find something bigger, nicer, quieter, and more comfortable. Now my monthly expenses have increased, but that motivates me to look for multiple sources of income, to not settle, and of course, to never go back to where I was.

I've realized that the more you have, the more motivated you are to do more. Before, I just thought that to live comfortably in an apartment I needed a partner to share expenses with, but that wasn't my real reason. Over time, I managed to save some money and moved out, with a lot of fear and mixed feelings.
