6. Flats Don't Get Better Until You Get Richer
So for three years you lived in a mouldy, tiny apartment with four other people who you hated. It was only for university right? It wasn't meant to last! It was meant to be high-rise, glass walled modern masterpieces from here on out! You did what society said and went to uni, time to live like a king even if your job sucks. Well, nope. The flats you lived in when you were the poorest rung of societies fetid ladder are still the flats you'll be living in now. To be perfectly honest, you'll probably be in those sorts of flats for the first few years. Unless... You pay! You pay hand over fist for a decent place to live! Not big, nor even really nice, but decent! With the sort of mould that doesn't kill you if you breath it in and if you pray extra hard to Estatia Agenti, the goddess of houses, it might even have a washing machine so you can avoid sitting in the laundrette for five hours every weekend. These are the silver linings you'll need to cling onto to remain sane.
