I come from a low income family and lived with my parents until 26 yo.
At 26, I was lucky to get a job overseas and start living on my own.
I thought it was the beginning of a new life, but it turned out to be mentally exhausting.
In all my renting experiences, none lasted more than two years. The shortest was just three months (the owner didn't tell me that he's in the middle of selling his house).
The owner usually stop renewing the contract due to:
- The property was sold and the new owner wanted all tenants out.
- The landlord wanted the room back for personal use.
- The rent was raised beyond what I could afford.
Constantly moving for reasons beyond my control has been exhausting.
I just want a stable life, but I can’t afford to buy my own place.
Sometimes I think back to living with my parents, it wasn’t perfect, but at least it was stable.
I am now almost 34, feeling like shxt.
