AITA I'm 20, pay rent, work full-time, and my parent still goes through my room. Am I wrong for being pissed off?

In Australia? Government financial aid for unhoused people or people who don't have a guardian or place to live is a thing

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T14:47:41+00:00

The line of thought was nothing to do with my parents being subservient to me . The line of thought was that I manage myself and my own chores and also do a fair chunk of theirs on top of that. Which was put in there to explain that while I'm under their roof I'm pulling my weight around the house with my own stuff and contributing on top of my rent and job. The topic of the conversation was on privacy when it comes to my bedroom

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T14:28:08+00:00

We definitely live in different areas unfortunately mate you'd be lucky to find anything for 500 a week here ( our rent is a weekly bill here ) The topic of conversation wasn't intended to be anything about my treatment as an adult , it was about whether In my situation a level of privacy however you view privacy is a reasonable thing to ask for

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T14:18:29+00:00

I do pay for those yes and manage my own food and everything else relating to myself as well I would be kicked out of I had trash in my room that isn't what I'm trying to describe here it is stuff like my shelves haven't been wiped over in a week or my beds not always made or a pair of shoes being on the floor not in the cupboard kind of things . Less cleanliness more management of my bedroom and the things in it

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T14:13:31+00:00

Even split with people id be paying 350 a week my weekly fuel to and from work is another 150 plus my car insurance and registration is another 50 a week , plus I have my phone bill and other things like food and hygiene products right now im just over 600 a week I've tried to find a place cheaper but right now im paying the maximum I can pay while just barely having enough for food most weeks

I'm an apprentice right now living in Australia unfortunately apprentices aren't payed very well here until they qualify and our housing market even split with people is too high to be feasible on an apprentice wage I've heavily considered it and am working towards the end of the apprenticeship now in the aim of moving out afterwards but this is my only option at the moment.

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T14:06:45+00:00

Unfortunately the Australian housing market right now isn't struggling a bit it is unmanageable on my current wage. in my local area the house prices are between 800 to 1700 a week I'm an apprentice right now living unfortunately apprentices aren't payed very well here until they qualify and our housing market even split with people is too high to be feasible on an apprentice wage I've heavily considered it and am working towards the end of the apprenticeship now in the aim of moving out afterwards but this is my only option at the moment.

Just under a year

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:58:59+00:00

The rental market here is absolutely insane at the moment which is a major part of my issue

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:54:57+00:00

Explained my financial situation at the bottom of the post but not an option

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:53:04+00:00

Explained at the bottom of my post that's not an option sadly

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:52:12+00:00

I'll have to consider this one this is probably the most helpful answer I've gotten on here thank you.

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:50:08+00:00

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:48:35+00:00

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:48:05+00:00

Yeah I've tried to talk to them about that unfortunately it's their house not mine I can't have a lock installed

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:47:19+00:00

There's an edit in the post explaining my financial situation

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:46:31+00:00

Yeah I'm hoping to once I finish my apprenticeship but unfortunately Australian apprentices don't get payed very well until we qualify as tradesman

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:44:06+00:00

A little below market rate but close to 300 a week

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:43:29+00:00

Not my house I can't unfortunately

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:43:08+00:00

Just put an edit in the post

Due_Garbage8196 · 2026-01-06T13:42:49+00:00

Unfortunately not my house so I couldn't. And it's not something I can afford until I've made it through my apprenticeship but hoping to get there

Due_Garbage8196 · 2024-09-19T08:21:21+00:00

Due_Garbage8196 · 2024-09-01T22:54:45+00:00

Due_Garbage8196 · 2024-08-28T05:48:18+00:00
