I've moved a lot for work over the past couple of years and every living arrangement has involved roommates. In every single place I've lived, my roommates complain that I keep to myself too much, and that "they don't even know when I'm home". For context; I am a super busy (online classes and full-time work plus gym routine plus social life outside the house) INTROVERT, and I make this very clear from the start. They ALL seem to take it personally that I don't hang out in common spaces more (most of my roommates have been WFH and had desks set up in said common spaces), and that we don't hang out more often. AITA for thinking being in your thirties in shared housing isn't a social contract or obligation to be besties with people you live with? I'm ALWAYS friendly in passing and stop to chit-chat when I have time! I'm also super duper clean.

I was living in a dry climate and feeling much better. It took a while but finally found a job in a building that didnt have mold, however it paid very little compared to the cost of living. Purchased a new car that was mold-free.. etc.
Despite my health gains, I started to feel really financially constrained when I couldn’t save anything for the future or even afford to live comfortably at all due to low income, so I made the decision to temporarily relocate to my home state to go back to school to ultimately increase my income to move back to said dry climate. However, since moving back- my CIRS symptoms are out of control. I can’t find safe housing, and now my car has mold due to a leak. I can’t afford to fix it right now or probably for another year. It’s damp and humid here and there is mold EVERYWHERE. I’m reacting constantly and wondering if it’s even worth the sacrifice to go through schooling here. It feels impossible to line up mold-free housing, work, school, and a vehicle- which is why I felt like increasing my income potential as a CIRS patient is super important for my future health. But I feel so discouraged and wish I never left the dry climate!! I feel like no one understands what I’m going through and I just look so inflamed.

BS in Sustainability in 2014, and the only roles it got me were in food production/ organic agriculture. For years I considered getting a masters in GIS but I’m currently on track to go back to school for nursing, though it’s not my passion. My passions are sustainable food systems, conservation, climate justice, wildlife ecology etc but I have to earn a living wage.

I have not had luck AT ALL in the Northeast / New England. I have also experienced mold at three different homes in Colorado and New Mexico.

Hi all- I work long shifts and definitely can easily get dehydrated, but all of the electrolyte powders im finding have citric acid, ascorbic acid or something of the like and I’ve read that this cancels out the effects of vyvanse. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I really love the front range of Colorado but it’s definitely car dependent. I don’t want to live in the Bay Area, but I want to live somewhere walkable with easy public transport! My car payments/insurance are keeping me in debt.

Mine was to be a climate scientist or land conservationist but I’m in healthcare and in school to become a nurse.

Anyone have a good spf Rec? I’ve been layering two types but still feel like my skin is getting pigmentation that’s making me look older than i actually am at a rapid pace!

In school for LPN and I definitely want to explore the clinical research nursing path once I graduate. Any advice would be great!!

Single renter, no kids. Ideally would like to live alone in a more modern place but not totally opposed to roommates…

Currently deciding between pursing nursing or being an office manager in a healthcare/wellness setting.

For those who have lived in both; what is your comparison? For reference I’ve lived in Denver and loved it but felt it was too expensive for my 40-50k salary range. I want to further my education and increase my income eventually but want to have a good quality of life for what I make now if possible..

Grew up in Northeast, moved out West for a year and loved it, COL got out of control for my income so moved back to northeast, deeply regret it and am so unhappy though more financially stable. I have the chance to further my education here but feel like im missing out on my “real life” that’s waiting for me out west and growing more depressed by the day. What would you do in my shoes?

I know it’s getting harder and harder with climate change. I tend to do best in a dry climate but it seems those are also the places with the most air quality issues due to fires / smoke. Where in the USA has the best air quality and low humidity?

Specifically at night near downtown

I was just living in one of the most HCOL places in the country on a low salary, but my mental health was better than it’s ever been. As well as my allergies. I just got tired of always being broke. Now I’m back in my hometown area for higher pay and financial stability but I’m absolutely miserable in every way. What would you do?

Guessing it would gross about 40k. Single woman no kids

As a single renter, no kids.

I am guessing dry climates are best for those with mold sensitivities, but I’ve also heard that there is mold anywhere. Anyone experience better luck in certain parts of the country?
