    Im gonna be your big sister for a moment and say that you should stay in that appartment a little longer. Since you got so lucky with the cheap rent, and it also being closer to school. Also Im sure you are aware of all of this, I just didnt want "all" the comments to say "get it" haha. Also, also: I totally cant eat without watching a yt video either

    Ryan, I think you should stay in your current apartment. Based on your visa situation, your current school dynamics, money availability, and the horrendous cost of the new apartment. It just doesn't make sense.

    I have a feeling that we like to watch videos while eating because it makes us feel like we're having a meal together with someone and not just eating alone. I think meals are meant to be shared and eating can also be a social situation so the video fills the need!

  • @edwardwestin
    @edwardwestin Před rokem +2

    If you are "okay" with your current apartment - best to remain for now. The new place might be tempting but the move in cost is a lot. Best, to hold on, save or spend that money on "life" things that bring memories - like "travel". Sounds like the apartment now is a good price and isn't perfect but not horrid. Keep your life expenses low, and spend on the things that matter more. Think about it, typically after a few months the honeymoon phase of a larger space starts to fade. Once I heard, double the cost, double the commute - etc - from my experience - not worth it. My 2 cents for what it's worth.

Your current place is insanely well priced and you got really lucky!

    I'm not great with these types of things but I would say don't move quite yet. if everything is doubled INCLUDING your walk to school it's like kind of not worth it? I would say maybe go for it if you had the money and it was closer to your school that your current apartment, but its further so it's a no-go for me personally. You do you though!

    Hello ryan!! I wanted to chime in about your appartment situation as someone who feels in a similar spot as you, and im also a student with a job. My place is nice and, most importantly, very cheap. I have thought often about moving but i realized its mostly about the excitment of wanting something new in my life, to change things up. Maybe thats what youre also feeling? However as a student you need to really try to live as cheaply as possible. I would really recommend you stay where you are right now because although it may be boring, it’s extremely convenient for you. I think its better to move out once your studies are done so that you can have a full time job/career and have a higher and more stable income! This is also what i decided is best for me :)
    Good luck with everything!

    Stay, stay, stay in your apartment. If you take the new space you'll lose $3000 that could go to things much more fun. You need experiences and immersion in the community and you won't get that in a nicer place that encourages being inside. If you don't like your bathroom set-up go to a local sento (a calming and meditative experience), something you can't do almost anywhere else. Become Japanese!

    I feel like moving to that place isn’t really the smartest thing to do, especially if it’s double the rent just for a place that you think you want. You should most definitely wait on it til it feels right or keep looking at other’s, and if you feel like you need some change in your living space or life you could decorate it differently move some stuff around to change it up a bit. Really make your apartment feel like yours yk and be less impulsive to leave, or take up a couple of more hobbies or do some that’ll take a lot of your time from home so that when you’re not there you’ll miss it, if that makes sense.😄
