Ask Amy: It’s not fair that my rent doesn’t buy me any extras

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:45:23 GMT

Dear Amy: I’m in my early 20s and living at home. I’m paying my parents rent, but the money I pay doesn’t include anything else – just the room.This doesn’t seem fair to me, and I’d really appreciate hearing what you think of this.– Renter at HomeDear Renter: You’ve just described … rent. When you rent, you pay the owner of the dwelling for the roof over your head. That’s all.When you’re a child, your parents provide all of the extras. When you’re an adult, having someone else do the cooking, cleaning and laundry is what happens at a hotel.Once you accept this reality, you should do some research to see if you are able to afford rent and living expenses elsewhere. You may find that – even without the extras – you are benefiting from the lower cost of living at home.Many young people use this transition period at home as a way to aggressively save money toward the higher cost of living elsewhere.Dear Amy: About two years ago, I messaged “Bradley” on social media.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:45:23 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea canceled its planned launch Wednesday of its first commercial-grade satellite due to a technical issue, days after rival North Korea reaffirmed its push to place its first military spy satellite into orbit.The cancellation was announced about two hours before South Korea’s homegrown Nuri space launch vehicle carrying eight satellites — including the main, commercial-grade one — was scheduled to lift off from a southern launch facility.Oh Tae-seok, the first vice-minister of science, told a televised news conference a communication anomaly between the launch control computer and the launch pad control computer was found during the launch preparation process.
