Thinking of doing something kind of stupid. What do you think?
I just graduated from school and I don't start my job until June. Before then, I won't be earning any income and I'm not legally allowed to work (immigration rules). I have enough money saved to get me by till then. But like, just about enough.
I'm currently staying with a friend who let me crash on his couch for a month to save rent (in May I'll be visiting family) money but I just don't feel comfortable with it, idk. He's a good friend so I feel bad for saying this, but I feel suffocated. I'm an introvert and really like to have at least, some "me" time. But he always wants to talk or do something. He also lives close to the school I graduated from, and naturally his social life still involves a lot of people from there. I almost don't feel like I've graduated because of that and I feel suffocated, I just want to have a clear mind to breathe and think and move on. Also, I registered for a professional exam I'll be taking at the end of the month and I want to spend the next month studying for it, and also have space to unwind when I come home. Unwind alone.
So I found this place for rent 2 hours away, it's really cheap in comparison to bay area rent ($450 for a whole month). I'd get to meet some new people, and also just breathe. But it feels kind of weird to be dropping $450 on rent when my friend is offering his place for free. Especially because that extra $450 will really put a strain on my finances.
But I still feel like doing it anyway. Is this ridiculous/stupid?
