I am writing this because I am feeling very guilty and have no avenue to share my secret.
I grew up with only my father and have no siblings, my mother passed away when I was 3 years old.
I have been with my girlfriend for 9 months and recently we moved in together.
(Not bragging), When my dad passed away, he left me 3 condominiums I stayed in one of them the other two are for rental, which brings in a passive income. Coincidentally one of the tenants moved away and it was a chance for my girlfriend to move in and I can “build a story”.
So just when my girlfriend wanted to move in with me, I asked if she wants to rent a condominium together. She agreed and she give me around $1,500 a month. I told her that it is a good deal and I will pay directly to the landlord for this “good deal”.
But the fact is I am the landlord and I am getting money from her.
So I moved from my current condo to this 2nd condo where the previous tenant moved out and rented out the one I was previously staying.
Should I tell her the truth? I am feeling guilty that I am taking $1,500 from her but at the same time I do not want to lose this extra income.
Call me useless if you want, I am not working and survive purely on the rentals. So having this $1,500 is kind of like an increment for me.
