| Originally posted by Sushipunk I'm with you Jenny. There is no way in hell I would live in a share house again, unless I absolutely had to. Or, as is my situation, living with my gf. But that's quite different to what we're talking about here. Jake, keep your own pad. The moment you move in with these guys/girls, you're gonna regret it. One bedroom as your personal space is fuck all, compared to YOUR OWN PLACE. If you wanna save some money, try and find a cheaper place. ON YOUR OWN. I can't stress this enough. |
I'm the landlord in my place. I rent out the room to a couple of girls. they are moving out at the end of this month and i'm getting new girls or guys in at the end of august, you're saving a considerable amount of money by moving out. I'd just go for it.
Sharing is a blast if you're going to be with good people. I'd never met the last girls i rented to for the last 9 months until the day they put down the deposit and i've only had one semi-large argument with one of them. it's been good laugh really.
Piece of advice. Don't bang your flatmates. It's awkward times.
Ultimately it just depends what kind of person you are. But this should be obvious.
If you're the kind of person who NEEDS your alone time at any time you want it, don't move in with room-mates.
Fuck.
I think I'm gonna move out.
I need to socialize. Re-socialize. This place I'm in right now makes me feel so lonely. So much space and crap here that I don't even use. The house to move into has free cable, free Tivo, and all the PS2, PS3, Xbox games I can dream of. I think if I don't go I'm just going to wither away and become a troll by the age of 30. And I won't have $440/month times x-months to save. Can't stay here. I'm living an illusion by thinking I can afford $1200 per month when I can't pay all my bills and keep taking money out of savings to pay for it. I had OVER $20,000 when I moved in 2 years ago. I now have only $4,000 cuz I kept taking out. Time to move out before I have none left.
I did it. Moving in to the house. Bye bye independence. Fuck it. I'm not rich enough to live alone. I need to earn it. Not drain it from my savings account.
Im kind of in the same situation. I really want to live *alone* but I cant afford it. I have a 2 bedroom apartment for 900 that I keep a roommate in... cant beat 450 rent in Midtown. Basically, I think that living alone is a luxury. I think it's responsible to share a place in your mid twenties and single to pay off debt or save money. I support your decision.
I lived alone in a studio for awhile and paid about $1100 for it - now I'm living with three other guys and my rent went down $500/month. Best decision of my life. Lots more fun, shared cooking duties, and a little extra cash at the end of each month.
Thanks Lebezniatnikov and Ang ' ela_ie, you guys helped me think that the decision I made was the right one.

Hey jake just make the most of it. Maybe you might not like one or two of the guys at certain points but you'll on the whole be having ace times. If you get pissed just goto your room and chill no worries.
You'll still have "your own place" (your room) but will have to speak to people when you might be in a shitty mood. I'd say just use them as bitching platforms to release stress lol.
Once i buy my own place i will rent out. Imagine how much you save in on the mortgage! You can literally buy your house at 1/2 the cost.
what's a studio apartment? :I

The only way I would pick up roommates to save $440 a month is if it was 3 smoking hot chicks who all wanted to be no commitment fuck buddies.
Otherwise, it's not worth $110 a week to me to share a bathroom and kitchen with other people. With that many roommates someone is going to end up being and ass and trashing the place but then too lazy to clean up or bringing a bunch of loud fucking drunks home after the bars close at 3am on a Sunday night because they are all jobless douches while you are trying to sleep so you can get up at 5am for work.
But in your case, if you really can't afford the rent at your place you don't really have another option.
why the fuck didn't you just move in with me?

oh yeah. that's right.
Everybody here is pretty quick to cite worst-case scenarios. I haven't always had the best roommates, and we've gone through rough patches, but I've never had the sort of problems people are warning about. Really, it depends, but for me I've felt at a much better place socially since moving in with other people. I can relax and have a beer and play Madden with one of my roommates after work instead of entertaining myself every night I don't feel like going out.
I just really like being alone.
