I may be moving into an apartment in 2 weeks.. Applied today and paid 50.00 application fee

I am movng to get out of the house my husband and I lived in our entire marriage plus I will be a lot closer to work, here is the problem i got this new job making more money but I will be paying rent for the first time so the extra money will be going to rent.. I currently pay next to nothing b/c the house we lived in belongs to my mom (who lives elsewhere) and is paid for...Everyone is telling me Im making a mistake. They are all like why move from a house with a yard to an apartment where you will be paying double what your used to.. What do you guys think, I want a fresh start and its hard on me to still live here and sleep in the same bed/bedroom and i know moving will give me the fresh start I need
