My father has a house

Lounge

My father has a huge house that my aunt once lived in until she passed.

He offered me to live there rent free. It’s close to my parents house so I won’t be completely alone… the only problem is that it is in rural Japan and I would be isolated from everything.

I couldn’t get disability in the US, and I’m struggling with work. I am sure I will work some kind of job eventually if I moved there. The thought of not having to pay rent is really appealing.

Kinda lonely living out here alone…

Would you move in, if it were you in the situation?

If you get support there. Sure. Sounds like a good thing. Do you become a Japanese citizen or already?

if being alone is just a matter of preferring company over being alone, go for it. I would get paranoid alone, so I live in a group home. Missing urban activities is another thing entirely. How much time do you spend on what the city alone offers?

I’ve never been to Japan, but it sounds like a great option. No rent! And near family.

If I’m not at work, I’m usually at home.

I go grocery shopping when I’m not home at my apartment

You could go crazy being alone. Do you speak Japanese? I’ve been living alone since 2008 and it has been hell. I understand what Brian Wilson says when he says he is not a survivor and that acid killed him. ( He said that on Charlie Rose show. )

Loneliness is bad for mental wellbeing.

Honestly - i would live in japan over the US right now.
Sounds like a great place to live out your life in peace.

The US population is so divisive and not living up to being a UNITED States of America.
Violence, crime, hate, etc. living here. You can feel it.

I’m not good at being alone so it’s not for me.

@Abise Living rent free in a house near your parents seems like a pretty good option. You could help them out and they good help you out. Living in rural Japan actually sounds pretty appealing if you enjoy a quiet slower-paced life.

I would move in and be rent free.
