Living with cousin

Hi i am 22M living with my 27F cousin and her husband, the issue is they are making me uncomfortable in the house as they want to me to live according to them and as i work from home they think i am free most of the time and will do their part of the house chores too but i need time for my own thinking about work and they don’t understand that they think i am just free all day . One other thing is the rent should be split equally as 3 people living but they act as one and i have to pay more , also there is some ego clashes with her husband sometimes on which i cant speak much about because im younger then him . I am thinking about moving out but the issue is i don’t know if i will be able to find new good roommates if i move out and i cant afford a whole place on my own yet . Any advice?

Help with where to buy furniture

Im a 18 year old care leaver, in uk. Ive put a deposit down to rent a two bedroom house. Theres a dining room as well as a living room. Ive sorta rushed this as i made an impulsive decision to get a cat and my current placement said i couldn't keep him. I'll be moving before the 5th of may.

I've got a budget of 3k for furnishing my house but i have no clue on where to look as ive never really thought about it nor have i has anyone spoken to me about it. I did google but i keep getting confused 😭. I have bits and bobs, like some kitchenware and bedding. Getting a bed isnt a priority, unneeded honestly lol

Does anyone have any advice on best places for good (maybe cheap) furniture fast and what i should prioritise?

I'll take any advice, thanks!!

Is there a superthread or place here to get advice moving logistics cross country to N.O. ?

I'm doing a HUD govt housing move from Oakland, CA to NO at one of the Catholic Charity HUD apartment buildings, to Carrollton and Oak St vicinity. Was on waiting list for 4 years then suddenly on Monday they have a spot and I've gotten videos of unit and it looks good. The problem is the move in day is just short of 1 month away and I am poor with savings i've set aside for moving, but have no idea what method of move I should be using.

Moving from a studio apt to equivalent of a 1 BR. Scrambling an feel so overloaded and overwhelmed. No friends out here or family. Family in NO but they are so posh and unhelpful. 6-figure salaries and MAGA Christians, they think of the poor, and thus me, as scum.

A friend in different area of CA is helping me to get oriented. Currently suggesting a pod or "U-Haul cube", or "LTT Move" (Less Than a Truckload) where you're i guess subletting space on a larger moving van.

I'm certain about making this move, have hated area and section & building where I've lived for 7 years, it really has drained & grossly degraded my mental health. I have friends in NO and I was born & raised there.

Where/ who can I go to for help? I mean with helping me ferret out move methods, pricing, etc, as well as advice when making determinations about "leave that behind, you can acquire that cheaper on the other end in NO".

I understand no one is here to guide and handhold, but given that the NOLA sub specifically says "no moving advice or discussions", I wondered if there are threads here that have helped sort a lot of this out? Thanks.

Moving gym equipment in container

I'm trying to find an inexpensive moving container option to move from Corvallis to Tucson. The main issue is that I have several items of gym equipment that are long or awkwardly shaped. I don't think a uhaul box would be cost effective. Squat rack is 8 feet long and leg extension takes up a lot of space. Has anyone done a similar move or could give me some ideas of companies? I plan on packing and loading/unloading myself.

Moving

I have recently considered moving out of state. I've lived in the same place for more than 20 years and I'm ready to see something new. Tired of overcrowding, the danger of the cities, done with having to drive everywhere and to top it off the weather is atrocious. Extreme harsh winters and brutally hot summers. Work is already sorted out, obviously looking for something affordable. I've done research on some locations that might meet my needs but asking the public can't hurt

Here are a few things I personally want:

Walking and biking, public transportation (train, metro, etc.)

Minimal need for car transportation,

I still own a car and plan to use it wherever I go, I just don't want to use it nearly as much. I've put nearly 500,000 miles on my car in the last 2 years because of where I'm located.

Weather year round, no below 30° and don't exceed 80°

Coastal?

No hustle and bustle of city life

I've found good things about smaller towns in California, NC and Virginia.

Maybe I'm asking for too much in the state of our country 🤦‍♀️
