Its the expensive part ....... depending on where you live rent could be as little as $3000 a year for somewhere really decent ...

I have a house but basically 3 years ago my Mom unexpectedly passed away , my Dad just wasnt himself, it was just him and my sister in a really big house, she was utterly useless and just locked herself in her bedroom day in day out ...

i came to find out that my Pops started sleeping in his office because he felt funny being virtually alone in the house alone so I rented out my place and moved back in , hes fime now so I kind of moved back out late last year although I still sleep over a lot... my place was already rented out and it was grief to break the contract so I just decided to rent another place
