Little Tiny Money Rant

Whatever with an introduction, I'm just gonna get right into it.

I'm paying $450 a month to be living in this apartment, and so is Sean. So that is $900 a month with utilities, cable and internet included. Sounds pretty ok, except for the fact that it's not our own apartment, heck it's not even an apartment! We're living in what you would call a 'basement apartment'. Basically this woman is renting us her basement that has a bathroom, kitchen and two bedrooms. So for $900 we get to smell her awful deep-fried cooking, a bathroom I cleaned that probably hadn't been cleaned in 3 years, semi-privacy because she comes downstairs at her own will. And FINALLY today she got someone to remove a microwave that was built into the wall that would sporadically make this high-pitch squeal, and it's favourite time to squeal was at 2am.
Not only that, but today while browsing Facebook, this notice popped up that we had used 75% of our monthly internet usage. So we called Rogers and asked about it. Our monthly limit is 25gb which is $35 a month. Seems like a lot, but to us that is nothing. At home we had 60gb a month, which is the norm, so this woman chose 'Lite' monthly allowance.
HELLO - we're giving you almost a grand a month, the least you could do is give us an adequate amount of internet!
Another thing, I don't lock the door because it's nearly impossible for me to unlock it (it literally takes me 5 minutes) and so she told me that I better start locking it because there was a robbery next door. RIGHT NEXT TO US. Like, are you joking? If we were in a regular apartment building, it would be nearly impossible for someone to break into our home because oh, I don't know, WE'D BE 5 STORIES UP WITH A FUNCTIONING DOOR LOCK.
I don't think anyone can even understand how much I hate living in this woman's basement. It actually affects my mood just being in this house.

Another thing is I HATE not working. It pains me to spend money knowing there is no deposit each week to replace what I'd spent. And I was getting really frustrated because I got $6,000 as a student loan, and $2,000 from my parent's. So with that money I have to buy tuition each semester, books, rent each month plus groceries and other necessities. Sean's family is buying for everything. EVERYTHING. Tuition, books, rent. And he got $4,000 as a student loan. He doesn't have to pay for anything other than groceries, and he got $4,000. It's fristrating me so much. And before he got his student loan, he had about $100 in his bank account, so I was buying for things until he got his loan. I paid for this train ride home, his ticket to see a Stratford play, his alcohol. So I got really irritated after he got his money and said that I need to pay the grocery bill because he paid the last two times we'd went.
I know if we kept a chart (ohh, reminded me of the Weekenders, when they kept a friendship favours chart and Carver owed a ton of favours and .. no? ok), if we kept a chart of who paid what it would be ridiculous and all the time he paid for dates would cancel all the times I paid out. It's just, since we're both not working and are super money conscience, it's been causing me to build up all this frustration. Sean usually would offer to pay for everything, and now he's expecting me to pay for things and asking to split the cost, which is fine, but I just miss how things used to be. When he would insist he paid and I would argue and grab the bill from him.
Like we'd said, a joint bank account would make things easier but we're just not ready for that. I feel like that would just cause MORE arguments.

Ugh, I hate money. I hate living here more, though.
