  1.  @blank.9301  That's rough. It's also completely out of your control. Having roommates would lower the individual costs. It's not ideal, but life never is and accepting that makes everything much easier. Me, my husband, and youngest son moved 6 hours away from where I'd lived 90% of my life. It's a better paying job with way better benefits and a real retirement. My oldest and his gf were going to live in my house back there for 2 years to save money to move and buy a house here or rent. We downsized our house from 2,300 square feet of living space to 1,400 square feet. The 3rd bedroom is tiny and was my sewing room. My oldest lasted 6 months before they moved here with all their animals. So now my much smaller house has 5 people, 3 dogs, and 4 cats. It went from being peaceful to a madhouse overnight. I could complain about it and be upset that my life got turned upside down, or I can deal with it and make the best of it. I choose to make the best of it. That doesn't mean I don't get irritated when, just like at the other house, they leave their crap all over my kitchen table and take over my livingroom so I'm forced into my bedroom. It means I suck it up, ask them to put their crap away, and deal with it like an adult. I enjoy that both my sons are with me instead of being separated and instead of having time for hobbies I spend it playing with animals.
