Ndazihlalela ndedwa iminyaka emi-4- emva koko kwafuneka ndifumane abantu endandihlala nabo. Nantsi indlela endisebenza ngayo

Ndinamava endihlala nawo kwiminyaka emfutshane engama-25 yobomi. Ukusuka ekuvukeni ndiye kwigumbi lokuhlala ndibukele ndilala ndiphindaphinda iinyanga kwindawo encinci yokulala, ndiye komnye umntu endihlala naye iintsuku ezintathu yokusela okusela okumnyama, ndikhule ndiqhele ukuqokelela uluhlu lwam lwamabali ayoyikisayo.

Yiyo loo nto ndaye ndakufumana Isitudiyo esinexabiso eliphantsi eSeattle Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo zezifundo zam zesidanga sokuqala, ndatsiba kweli thuba. Ukusukela ngoko – ngasekupheleni kuka-2014 – ndisikelelekile ngokuhlala (a) ndedwa okanye (b) nabazali bam.

Yayililizwe elitsha ngokupheleleyo ukuhlala ndedwa. Ndifanele ndimisele ishedyuli yam yokucoceka, ndwendwela ngaphandle kokuthumela umyalezo kuye nabani na kwangaphambili, kunye nokulungiselela ukutya ngaphandle koloyiko lomntu othatha ukutya kwam. Ibiliphupha lokuthembela kum kuphela kwaye ndizokujongana nale miba mitsha yabantu abadala.

Kodwa konke oku bekufutshane kakhulu kuba bendisandula ukufudukela kwisiXeko saseNew York, apho irente yomndilili yesitudiyo saseManhattan yi- $ 2,550 (Andazi baphantse babe zizigidi ezingama-79 abantu abadala baseMelika ngo-2017 baxelwe ukuba bahlala kwikhaya ekwabelwana ngalo, apho umntu ababehlala naye wayengelilo ilungu losapho okanye iqabane elithandanayo!) Ndazi ukuba kufuneka ndiphuze ukuhlala kwam ndedwa. Ngethamsanqa, ndikwazile ukudlula kwiinkonzo zokubekwa kunye namaqela e-Facebook kwaye ndafumana umntu endifunda naye ekholejini owayefuna umntu oza kuhlala naye. Sisonke, safumana indawo yokuhlala efikelelekayo kunye nomnye umntu esasihlala naye, kwaye ndihlala nabanye abantu emva kokuba ndihleli ndedwa. Ibe yinkqubo, kodwa ndonwabile ukuthi iyasebenza kunye neekinks ezincinci. Apha, iingcebiso ezintlanu ndizifumene ziluncedo kakhulu ekutshintsheni ukusuka kwinto yokuhlala wedwa ukuya ebomini nabantu ababini ohlala nabo:

1. Qiniseka ukuba uthetha ngemali ngaphambili

Kumanyathelo ethu okuqala okukhangela izindlu, umntu ngamnye wagqiba kwisikali sokuba ufuna ukubhatala malini irente. Sigqibe kwelokuba sijonge amagumbi okulala amathathu kunamagumbi amabini okulala ukuze sifumane eyona buck yethu, kwaye safumanisa ezona zifikelelekayo kodwa zisebenza ngakumbi (ukucoca kunye nenkonzo ye-Intanethi) esinokuyifumana. Kwakumnandi ukuba wonke umntu wayekwiphepha elinye malunga nemida yethu ephezulu kunye nezantsi, kwaye kuyanceda kakhulu ukumisela umbono oqinisekileyo wokuba ukuhlala ndawonye kuyakubonakala njani ngokwezemali.

Ihlala incoko eqhubekayo-sisasebenza kuyo inyanga nje enye kodwa sivulelekile ukuba sixoxe ngento esinokuyenza kwaye esingenakho ukuyifumana – eyiyo ke ibalulekile kwisixeko esibiza kangaka.

2. Thetha malunga neeshedyuli

Xa abantu endandihlala nabo kunye ndandiqala ukuhlala kunye, ndandisenza imisebenzi enye. Emva kokuba ndifumene isabelo esigcweleyo, ndazisa indlela ishedyuli yam eya kujongeka ngayo kunye nendlela esinokuyenza ngayo ukuba isebenze ukuze sonke sifike ngexesha emsebenzini (inye kuphela ishawa!).

Ngethamsanqa, sifumanise ukuba sinayo iishedyuli ezahlukileyo zeeshawa , Abanye bethu baneziganeko emva komsebenzi, kwaye sonke siyazi ingxolo yasebusuku phakathi evekini yomsebenzi.

3. Zoba ukuba yintoni ongabelana ngayo (kwaye yintoni ongayifanelanga)

Umntu endandihlala naye egumbini wandixelela ukuba omnye wabahlobo bakhe wayenomntu ahlala naye * othukile * ngomntu osebenzisa i-EVOO yakhe. Sonke savumelana ukuba i-oyile ye-olive, izinongo, nokunye okunjalo zilungile. ngokwabelana, ukuba wonke umntu unegalelo ekuzithengeni.

Zicoce emva kwakho, silwanyana singcolileyo!

Kuya kufuneka ubuyise ukuzazi kwakho kwakhona kumanqanaba okuphila kwangaphambili. Kuya kuthatha umsebenzi ukomeleza ezo zihlunu, kodwa ziya kuthakazelelwa ngumntu wonke. Ndikhulile ndidla ngokufumana iinwele zam phantse kuyo yonke indawo, kodwa xa ndihlala nabanye, ndiye ndenza umzamo omkhulu wokuthabatha yonke loo micu ikhululekileyo rhoqo. Ngapha koko, ukuhlala nabanye kundinike isizathu sokuhlamba izitya zam rhoqo – ibingasoloko injalo xa ndihlala estudiyo kwaye ndisebenza iiyure ezinde.

5. Khumbula: Yiba nembeko

Njengakwigumbi lokufundela enkulisa, ukuhlala nabanye kufuna umthetho wegolide: phatha abanye ngendlela ofuna ukuphathwa ngayo. Awunakho ukutshintsha imikhwa yomnye umntu, kodwa ungathetha ngayo nantoni na ekwenza ungakhululeki okanye ucaphuke. Bekulungile ukuseka unxibelelwano oluhloniphekileyo, oluvulekileyo noluthembekileyo omnye nomnye-ndicinga ukuba sizibekele impumelelo kwisivumelwano sonke sokuqeshisa!

Ekugqibeleni, khumbula ukuba indlu yakho iya kuhlala iyikhaya lakho- kunye nabanye abantu abambalwa kuyo. Zama ukulenza libe lelona khaya lifanelekileyo kuwo wonke umntu olibizayo — kuquka nawe.
