Went through a breakup while unemployed and was facing homelessness since my cost of living practically doubled instantly. The cats were hers and I miss them every day.
Got a new job and my car broke down and died on the first day of work.
Trying to move to somewhere affordable but I definitely need a car for where I’m looking to go. Found a car but it’s 5-6 months wait time for the factory order, so I continue to pay insane rent by myself in the meantime, and look for a used car to maintain my good standing with the insurance company.
Got a brand new bed a few weeks ago. Yesterday noticed ants climbing all over the wall right next to it. Luckily they weren’t in the bed but I had to move it to an inconvenient spot for peace of mind, and worry about more ants coming back. There’s no food or anything even close to the bedroom.
Every time someone moves out of this apartment building the new people who move in have multiple dogs. There are more dogs than people living here. They’re constantly barking and howling and setting each other off and nobody does anything about it. I can’t escape the noise anywhere in my unit.
I just want to get out and start the rest of my life in a new place already.
You described exactly why I am so thankful to never have experienced apartment life and pray I never will. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve definitely been in worse places than a shitty apartment, like homeless or living with my mom, but at least I still get to say I never had to share a space with strangers that can hear me getting it on. Now I live in a single-wide trailer, my rent is only $450 a month ( I make $25/h working from home, so rent to income is insanely low) and I have 3 bedrooms, fenced-in front and back yards, a dedicated laundry room, and I can’t even see my closest neighbor’s house.
Funny how one persons nightmare could be another persons dream. People use “ending up” in a trailer as a warning, and I literally could not imagine a better place to live.
I presume you are in the US. Out of curiosity - how does bathroom work with trailer life? Do you have a shower and toilet in the trailer or do you go somewhere else for that? I’m a complete stranger to trailer life, I suppose it’s just like camping but perhaps over there you have some differences when it’s a permanent full time lifestyle. I don’t know
This is not my house but close to what it looks like, much bigger than what you are picturing. Mine has an extension built onto it and I have 3 bedrooms.
LOL A single wide trailer has a full bathroom with a full shower and a working toilet. I am not in a CAMPER a trailer is something completely different. I have full indoor plumbing and a full sit in kitchen, laundry room all that jazz.
The constant barrage of unfortunate events.

Such mobile homes are fully plumbed. They’re functionally equivalent to an apartment/flat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_home#Construction_and_sizes
