I just got a call that I got a new appartment and I immediately started feeling anxious about cancelling my current one and doing all of the stuff I need to do in the next few weeks.
The things we are required to do in order to have a roof over your head off which a leech can make a profit are exhausting.
I remember a few years ago when I felt like the world was at my feet. Bought my first car, went to lots of parties, toured around the country with musicians, living my best life. I was broke as fuck at one point but I couldn’t care less. I felt like everything was going to be okay and I enjoyed every single day.
Now I get anxious whenever I buy a bag of chips or a drink at the grocery store to enjoy my weekend night with my gf. Which is weird because by all metrics I’m doing better than years ago, with a job, my own place, a partner and whatnot. I shouldn’t have financial stress and feel anxious but I just do. I’m going to get a nice, new and bigger appartment but my first reaction is to get anxious and thank: what am I doing? How am I going to do this?
Maybe covid, Ukraine and all other commie shit had a bigger impact on my mental wellbeing than I’d like to admit.
I love how you have to give them notice several months in advance and will likely end up paying rent for both apartments for a month or two
I paid a 3 months security when I moved here and if I can get a new renter quickly it should be no problem. But yeah that might be the case. Which makes no sense. It’s not as if I can find appartements on the market that are willing to be empty for three extra months without paying rent. Idiotic system.
