I recently had to come to grips with the fact that my living expenses are higher than they should be. I have been told for years to never rent a apartment or apartment if the daily cost of rent is more than a fifth of your income—recommend that I have since disregarded. I was stubborn about wanting a apartment despite it seeming like more part than what was practical for my needs. After a few cutbacks at task pushed my hours down, I just couldn’t afford to rent that apartment anymore. It felt daunting downsizing to an apartment, especially during the initial internet search. I found a nice a single home office apartment with a master’s suite plus separate dining room plus dining room closed off from the home office. So although I no longer have a spacious apartment to lounge around in, I didn’t have to scale back so much that I had to cram myself into a tiny studio apartment. But potentially best of all, my energy bills are amazingly affordable in my current site. I was told that the adjacent units, recognizably the a singles in the floors above plus below me, act as natural insulation from heat or cold air loss. I don’t have an attic for my ductwork to leak into either since my ventilation system runs along a single wall that each room shares simply out of convenience plus simplicity. All of the adjacent units complete this effect by acting as thermal barriers from the elements. When I gained my first electric bill, I couldn’t know the difference from my ancient house. To guess of the sheer quantities of money plus income I wasted over the years just to have a detached apartment to go apartment to every night is a irritated thought
