Sit around like you do at home and the place gets filthy in the blink of an eye.

Not cluttered, but filthy.
It’s horrible in here besides where I sit

The fact that I have no money management skills whatsoever.

Not that I spend much anyway, so I don’t need them that much.

Also, I am going to kill the neighbors next time they start screaming on their balcony.

I spend a lot of time just doing life stuff.
All I ever did before was sleep, work, and my hobbies.
