#personal #cheyrants #im getting kicked out of my house! by my own mother!! #for context: i am starting my internship tmr and i'm getting paid a... pretty high amount for an intern #it's similar to my mum's starting pay when she first started working #(but also let's establish that i am a uni intern and she is a drop out with no certifications) #but anyways she was going on about how she had to split her starting pay amongst her my brother and i because she was raising us #and she's pretty fucking salty that now im earning the same amount as an intern and it;s just for me #and me...a 22 year old with nothing in my bank account other...wanted to save part of my salary just to build up the amount inside #cuz yk... the standard of living is expensive and i am expected to live off whatever is in my account #so i wanted to build it up but...my mum thinks that's incredibly selfish of me for saving everything in my account and instead wants me to #give it to her instead fo the 'family' aka she's gonna put it into an envelope and hide it somewhere in her bedroom never to be seen again #and like i'm fine with giving money to the family and all but yeah maybe i was selfish and wanted to build up my account first #BECAUSE I HAVE NO MONEY IN THERE BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY TRANSPORT AND MY MEALS AND MY OWN BILLS AND UNI FEES AND OTHER THINGS #and she's also telling me 'oh youre young you should have a social life...go out and meet your friends' BUT THEN IF I DON'T SAVE UP THEN I #WILL NOT HAVE MONEY FOR ANYTHING? IDK LIKE... AM I MISSING THE POINT HERE OR IS SHE CONTRADICTING HERSELF???? #but anyways that aside... now i have one year left until i graduate from uni so until then i am responsible for my living expenses #after which i have to get a job within 3 months (hopefully it'll be fine) and then move out of my house :) #this...this is not america. we don't have space. we're not asked to move out at 18 years old because there's no LAND to move out to #rental costs are about $2k for the bare minimum of a BEDROOM. not even a house. and it's those bedrooms with just a bed and wardrobe #and i'm expected to find a place within the next year or so... i mean i guess it's fine? it'll probably be weird living with other ppl #but also this entire this is happening while she's angry and i tried to explain my perspective but she's like NO YOU'RE WRONG AND I'M RIGHT #i mean sure... kids are always wrong tho amirite? lollll haha... i'm gonna lose my mind #what a great start to my internship tmr! everything is great! everything is wonderful! #so yeah if anyone in sg knows a cheap room i can rent that would be nice thank you
