Is it a good idea to secretly live in the pantry from my office?


I want to move out of my parents' house so bad! !

I've been working as an English, Spanish, French, and Japanese teacher since I was 18. I'm 25, and for the last 3 years, I've actually started making more money translating. I rented a large apartment, bought deskchairs, whiteboards, and it's now my school. I set up my office to do my translation work.
I've had the place for 3 months, I haven't been able to gather enough people to teach groups of people, but people take me more seriously once they see the office and classrooms, so I get more translation work and students for private tutoring.

I can't afforrd to rent another place for me to live, or to pay for another phone and internet conexion. It would look unprofessional to live at my school/office. But if I put my bed in the pantry, and keep my clothes in the closet from my office. Eat out everyday like I always do. No one has to know.

Well if this is an APARTMENT that YOU ARE RENTING and that you are using as an office/school then there is no problem if you have a small area divided off for your residence .. that actually happens a lot more than you think..

It's unprofessional to lie about anything to your clients...not a good image at all. Alot of young people starting a career are in the same situation that you are in. I believe your clients would understand this if they were to find out. As long as you don't make it obvious( leave dirty clothes,dishes, etc) where you live should not have any baring on how good you are at what you do. You don't have to 'advertise' that you live there, but, if you are asked, don't lie; simply state that out of necessity, because you're just starting out that this is your home as well as your office. Most people will understand this, they won't understand a deliberate lie. In the meantime start looking for a place with two bedrooms!
