#high cost of living

[bitchesgetriches]

I live in a very liberal, and expensive, state. I don't know if I can afford to stay, but I don't know if I can afford to leave either because of the ~political hellscape~ outside. How do I choose where I live?

My darling child, this is a SUPER valid question. We've thought about it a lot! Most of our thoughts and advice are in this episode of our podcast (scroll down the link for the transcript if you'd rather read than listen):

Season 4, Episode 8: "I’m Queer, and Want To Find an Affordable Place To Retire. How Do I Balance Safety With Cost of Living?" 

If this helped you out, give us a tip!

"IL FAUT DEJA PENSER A L'HIVER," Le Petit Journal. July 9, 1933. Page 19. ---- Dans les foyers pauvres, on redoute déjà le prochain hiver. Les enfants s'emploient à faire provision de bois, car le charbon reste, hélas, trop cher. Réussira-t-on à enrayer avant l'hiver les spéculations qui maintiennent ce prix élevé! C'est possible, car on verra, page 20, les conclusions du rapport officiel du registraire, accablantes pour le monopole. (Photo "Petit Journal").

It seems my electricity bill this month exceeded 30,000 yen. That's way too expensive.

As a Lower Cape Outreach Council supporter, you may never truly know the difference you can make in the lives of thousands of children, adults, and seniors who call the Lower and Outer Cape home.

The rising cost of living, coupled with a shortage of affordable housing stock, has made it increasingly difficult for individuals and families to meet their basic needs. The winter poses an extra strain with higher utilities, seasonal layoffs, transportation challenges, and a slower off-season economy. The combination of these adverse factors affects so many, including our clients, their employers, and our ever-growing senior population.

So strange to think that we’re well past 2020 levels of the world falling apart and we don’t even have the ability to rest in “lockdown” or “quarantine” to fully comprehend what’s happening to us and our futures

okay has anyone else dealt with extreme neat freak housemates? because I feel like I'm losing my mind

I'm not a dirty person, I'm pretty sure. a bit prone to clutter, but not actual dirt. I don't like for the house to be dirty. but there's just been a House Meeting called and when I went to ask the housemate who requested it what was going on- because I hate house meetings that I don't already know the purpose of; it feels like a Wait Until Your Father Gets Home situation and I don't even know what I'm potentially "in trouble" for

and basically they all feel that I'm leaving the kitchen "filthy"

"nobody wants to cook there because it's gross" was the exact quote

I feel like I'm losing my mind, because...I don't think I leave the kitchen gross? I wipe crumbs off the counter; I wipe up spills if and when they happen. the most I've ever noticed when I go in there is a couple of crumbs here and there, genuinely. or when I look over the kitchen after I finish up with a meal

(also this housemate once sent a picture to the group chat with like. five single, spread-out crumbs on the counter individually circled in red. but the thing is, everyone else seems to agree with her)

but I'm also very good at hating myself, so now I'm wondering if I AM somehow disgusting

and of course, my House Meeting tribunal has to convene at some point. the last one made me feel like everything I said was pointless because everyone else put up a united front and shot it all down, so I guess I'm headed for more of the same
