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?

Not ridiculous or stupid, just a way to get out of suffocating there.

What other ways can you do it, without spending that money?

Look for alternatives, otherwise, deciding on one idea without exploring others may be ridiculous and stupid.

If there are alternatives, work out which out of all your ideas is the best for you.

Ya..., I feel for you,but times are tough.

And No, its not stupid.

Think what if time runs out at your friends house, what will you do then?

I can understand you wanting to have time to yourself.
You only going to be at the new place for a month. If you can afford to give up the money then I see no harm in it.
Do what your heart tells you to do.
Me time is precious.

That, or spending basically my whole day in the library for the next 30 days. Then when I come home, I get back late and essentially only come to sleep.

I'm also thinking of taking a small loan, a small one that I'm confident I'll be able to pay back. That'll greatly Relax things for me.

I would get a day or two in a motel now and then for me time and keep my money as to if something comes up

@Lilnonames this is a good idea.
