Hey everyone,
I've been hesitant to post this because I didn't want to jinx myself, but it's now 99% certain so I feel comfortable sharing. It looks like I am moving to an amazing apartment in a beautiful building -- rent free! I will be the building's caretaker, and will be responsible for basically dusting and vacuuming the place. It's a 5-story townhouse that serves as the home for a club of stamp collectors -- nerdy, I know -- with one apartment on the 5th floor! I'll be the only one living in the building, and will have to keep the other floors clean. The building was designed by a famous architect -- Stanford White -- and is breathtaking.
The first four floors are basically all meeting rooms, reading rooms, and libraries. The fifth floor has the apartment and a small reading room. The building is open during business hours, and in the evenings I'll have the entire building to myself. The work is not negligible but totally manageable. I would call a plumber or an electrician for anything serious, but beyond that, I'll just dust, vacuum, and clean the glass. Obviously living rent-free is an amazing opportunity for me, and is totally alleviating all of my job-search stress. Now I can get the kind of job I want, at a small law firm, and live like I'm making a lot more money. This is a huge answer to all my prayers and I am so happy, just had to share it! They have to evict the guy that is currently (not) doing the job, and renovate the apartment for me, so I should move in December or January. It's just so exciting.
 Thanks for reading!
