Roommate rant: I started out with trying the roommate situation for $1500 a month or less usually; all I ask out of roommates are that we all stick to a schedule for chores and peace and quiet at night. Every single roommate situation either had somebody who couldn't abide by the 10 PM quiet rule (we're talking watching tv at all hours of the night, having sex with their girlfriend until the AM, or having a very audible conversation next to my room at 2 AM), or refused to do any type of chores leaving it all on me or the place a stye. If I could find a mythical responsible roommate or roommates and only pay $1500 a month or less I absolutely would but it hasn't ever worked out.
- sagarm 9y agoIMO a cleaning service makes living with roommates a much better experience, and given that the costs are split N-ways adds relatively little to the cost.
- stevenwoo 9y agoI agree but you've may never have had someone who could make a mess right after the cleaners and then it's up to you to clean up after them if you don't want to wallow in it for a week.
- melq 9y agoYou mean people aren't champing at the bit to spend $1500/month and adhere to your 10pm bedtime!?
- autotune 9y agoMore like why I pay what I pay now for my own sanity and peace and quiet rather than saving more than I could be but having to deal with immature nonsense.
