advantages: can work out, can garden, have my own place, close to mom and dad
disadvantages: cant go for walks, have to commute to work, have no friends or social life, not really out in the world living my life.
I choose to stay here for another year, but im not sure how long I want to stay. I know I don’t want to move back to my hometown now. I’ve moved on, the traffic and pollution from the distillery and powerplants is not for me.
Cheap. Live with Dad we share the bills. Good neighbourhood. Can go for walks, jogs or cycle. Close to everything so good spot.
Bit hard to bring ladies back to dads place. It’s a long way aways from my volunteer job so it’s a pain to drive through traffic.
I’m happy to hang around as well!
I don’t have to pay rent, or the grocery bill (unless I want something extra) because of my stepdad’s generosity.
The negative is he’s got anger issues and is mired in believing these controversies, so it’s hard to get through to him to talk and I’m worried about him sort of. He also is prone to yelling and has done it to both me and the roommate the yelling when he’s less than a few feet away, is intimidating.
He was physically abusive to me growing up but hasn’t been abusive outside of yelling since I moved in with him. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt but he is a large part of the reason I have chronic back and neck pain since childhood.
Advantages: the kids and I have lots of room. I’m allowed to have pets. It’s a very quiet neighbourhood. 7-11 and Tim Horton’s are within walking distance.
Disadvantages: rent is atrociously expensive.
Advantages: I answer to no one, do not get physically/verbally abused, can do whatever I like and eat what I want too. I live on the edge of town, so there are not loads of people around. I am close to my close family
Disadvantages: I have to work when I am sick to cover bills and the road outside has a lot of cars. I am an hour away from work by car.
I have lived independently for two and a half years now. In the first 18 months I got hospitalised 6 times as I couldn’t handle it at first, but now I am used to it I am stabilised and kinda like it. I keep it pretty tidy too.
Advantages: We live in a lovely unit with a view of the lake, it is just down the road from the hospital, only takes about 15 - 30 min to get to work depending on traffic, the unit is pretty new so everything still looks good and works very well, and i also get to have my pets.
Disadvantages: We have to adhere to body corporate (although it isn’t unreasonable), can’t have the music up or watch movies with the volume up. But i would consider all these very minor things.
Advantages: 3 rooms which is just enough, can stay here “forever” if i want, my own space, can reach everything by bicycle: near the city centre, near work, near family, near park, i can afford the rent.
Disadvantages: a little small, no storage room, no garden, a bit old and ugly, neighbourhood isnt too good (neither very horrible though), my son doesnt have friends here in the street and neither do i, rent is still a bit high for what im getting, no nature or countryside. Friends and family all have fancy big houses, mine is…different, so i dont easily invite people.
Advantages: it is a peaceful loving home here.
I live with my boyfriend and his three dogs and my sacred neigh is agisted nearby.
My partner and I get to spend lots of time together.
We have a big yard with veggi patch etc
We have a plastic pool my bf bought me for around $200.
It’s affordable and we have fun renovations etc to do.water plants daily in summer time .
We take care of each other and are kind to each other.
He notices when I am sick and helps me.
He makes me eat meat because he thinks I go sick when I don’t.
Disadvantages:he said he will break up with me if I go vegan (I’m a wanna be vegan kindof)and has complained a bit about my body and being .
I can not eat what I want and do everything I want here.
There’s scary bushfires n he is volunteer.
It gets really hot here summer time.
Hotter than I’m used to.
There’s not nice beaches like where I used to live and it’s over a hours drive I think to a dipable beach.
I have no family here and wonder if I did the wrong thing bringing my horse here because I can’t ride her like I used to and the paddock is not as good and I worry she might not be as happy here.
I am surrounded by his friends and family and we are very different and different beliefs and values etc
We are rather out in the country and my bf calls me a citychick because I used to live closer to cities but not always in city but sometimes outskirts.
Advantages: Living with my parents who are very supportive, living in the country is peaceful, large yard between us and the neighbors, nobody messes with you here
Disadvantages: Nothing much around here, have to drive to get anywhere, no sidewalks to walk on so going for walks is a challenge
Advantages: privacy
Disadvantages: loneliness
It sounds pretty chilling that they force you to eat meat.
I own the home and rent the land, rent has gone way up and the home is worth nothing now, but I need the space for my business stuff so stuck here
