frogmajickAngel posted and it brought me back to my journal and I realized I only ever use it to vomit out thoughts during really shitty points in my life. And surprise surprise, I'm having a shitty time.
My landlord decided to raise the rent. When we moved in 4 years ago, rent was $995. Starting August 1 it will be 1425. That's a 46% increase because, and I shit you not, he looked on Zillow and saw the market could bear 1400. Because of ZILLOW.
I'm so pissed. We literally just spent and all the labor to get the garden ready. That's like $500. And now why would we put garden in if we're moving? We have these plants, irrigation drip system, and a driveway heaped with compost.
And finding anywhere else, we can't fucking afford it Like I'm going to have to start a fundraiser to crowd source a deposit because we have no money. I have less than $200 to my name.
And my teaching gig is done so I just lost 800 a month, so even my rent right this second is going to be very very tight for July. I'm tempted to not pay for july and take the money and use it for a new place, even though that's super shitty.
And we're going to wind up in an apartment. Which I hate. Like screaming ugly cry tantrum hate. This is a college town and I can't think of things I want less than to live in a complex with shitty, loud, drunk college students.
I have to collect the lost title for this beater Chrysler I bought and then it promptly shit the bed. If I can sell it for 1000 that'll be good to go to deposit. Cody has some game stuff he wants to sell, too.
We have an entirely full basement. All our shit will not fit in an apartment, but this is stuff I don't want to give up. It's a lifetime of mementos. Stuff from the kids. Stuff from my grandparents. There's Cody's entire woodworking room. All his wood. All his tools.
We need a house with a basement or a garage, but the houses on the market are all 2k. That's probably why the landlord thinks the market can bear it, but I will honestly tell you that the houses on zillow aren't renting because no one can afford 2k a month.
I want to buy a house but I have no down payment and the time I looked into it before the bank dude LAUGHED at me because my student loans count against me. So I guess I'll never own a house because unless I can pay cash, I'm certainly not getting a mortgage.
I hate this. I hate everything about this. We have a couple months to prep and I know it'll work out, but I fucking hate every single thing about this.
