Three times the rent
 

As we all are very aware Covid has impacted us all in ways that we would just love to reverse. I know for me it ruined traveling overseas for two years and it made finding an apartment back in my hometown impossible due to the new standards that they put in place to try and prevent people from hunkering down in the apartment without paying. It became a hassle and they were asking for unreasonable amounts of money to have a place to live. It ultimately is what broke down some of my relationships and forced me to have to make decisions to make sure I didn't become homeless with a dog and a cat trying to live in a van like home (which is possible but not when the van wasn't even close to ready to a van lifestyle or mindset). Ultimately I left my old life behind and made the decision to move to Tennessee to not only save myself from what was to come back in my hometown but to also help my sanity. 

It turns out that was the right call and six months later I'm doing much better and I'm not figuring out my next steps in this crazy adulthood life that was thrown upon me. I'm hopeful for change and that is also why I have been getting into my business more and trying to get things back on track.

Of course, Covid still has some impact on my living situation and that's been a tough one to overcome. IM looking for small homes to rent out west and it's been interesting to read what these places have in place because of covid. Most of them are requiring you to make three to four times the rent which in some places seems unreasonable considering the circumstances. Luckily none seem to require vaccinations or any of that crap which is good. I mostly worry about them trying to play that card if I decided to move out there and rent from someone. Of course, I'm hopeful that things go smoothly when I do decide. The other option is to just live in the van for a bit and travel but the first it has to find a job where I don't need to have a wired connection to work or have a huge desktop to make that happen. With my current job, those two things are required and I'm hoping to find something with salary base pay instead. 

Covid has really messed things up and it's been a struggle to figure out how to move forward with all this craziness that's going around. I'm not a fan of it and It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
