Months ago I got on a waiting list for low income apartments. I thought they would still be expensive as most of the apartments I looked at had the utilities seperate from rent. One replied back recently, and it turns out this one has utilities included in rent. It also is the one that my grandparents want me in. I do tend to obsess over money giving that is how I was raised. I've decided to loosen up a little, there is nothing major, like a house, that I'll be able to save for. I might as well have fun.
Side note: My grandparents say I don't understand what they have been through. They were abused as children too, I know this. It's just hypocritical that they want me cured within their timeframe and at the same time expect me to treat their childhood traumas as something that I just have to deal with and shoulder. I understand they are old and want to see me cured before they die, and that their generation is poor at empathy with the "pick yourself up by the bootstraps" mentality. I just wish they didn't minimize my feelings at the same time. I know I can be bad at communicating, but they are equally so. Though I suppose none of these things are going to change. They care, but are going to show it really badly.
