So I'll get right into it. I turned eighteen about ten days ago and on the day of my 18th birthday, instead of throwing me a party like normal parents, my parents decided to sit me down and tell me that I needed to start paying rent if I still wanted to live in "their" house. I didn't understand why they were so hellbent on making me pay rent because they'd never talked about these things before. I had a weird relationship with my parents if you can even refer to it as a relationship. Growing up, everything was provided for but we didn't talk and my parents weren't affectionate or loving towards me. So I grew up being pretty distant from them and right now, I wouldn't say that we have the best relationship. My mother's a high school English teacher and my dad works in marketing so they have a reasonable combined income and can afford a nice lifestyle. But I always had this feeling that they didn't really enjoy spending money on me and did it more out of a sense of obligation, rather than because they actually wanted their only kid to have things that I liked. So just to be on the safe side, I decided to get a job in high school. It was just the job of an intern at the nearby office supplies store but it paid decently and I could manage it alongside school so I had no complaints and I had even saved up some money for myself. I wouldn't say that I had enough to move out but I could at least cover rent for the first couple of months, if I stayed somewhere extremely cheap or split it with roommates. I didn't know about the other costs, though. These were measures that I'd only taken for the worst-case scenario but I didn't really think that I would actually have to end up utilizing this money so soon.
