but think about it. You got more privacy, bring chicks over without roommates in your biz, your food not getting ate up, dont have to deal with other roomates.....Nobody waking up scratching they balls and then going into firdge to get something to eat without washing hands
I think all that is worth an extra $130 a month
You can hustle extra $10 a month easily. Get on MTurk for a few hours a week and get it
You will thank yourself later. Nothing like your own spot. I would most def get my own spot if it was only $130 more. If your talking bout saving $350-$400 that is differnt

A man in any city with any sort of stability should strive to at least get a studio in order to prevent sharing a living space with someone they're not in a relationship with. Having to deal with another person's bad habits and having to rely on someone else to pay rent is not what a grown man should be doing. Having a roommate is not something that well represents a man. It means he can't make it on his own.

I love when people make their pseudo-profound statements on NT. No grown man should have a roommate? I'm honestly interested in the logic that goes into that mantra. I live in a house with two roommates right now. Two of us were here from the beginning, and the third guy came in a couple months later. The masters were already claimed so the last guy had to take one of the smaller rooms. I gave him my garage spot to make it even because I have my own bathroom. Everything is split evenly three ways. Compromise a little NT.

U the same dude who was shedding tears at a homeless dude singing, but yet you're stating what should/shouldn't represent being a "man." Get outta here...

The bros and I have a 3 bedroom. Rent is 900. A 1 bedroom in our area is 700+.
master bedroom pays 520 - has own bathroom, nice closet, patio door, and a LOT of floor space
it would've been less but I was willing to pay up to 500 that so that was the high bid
The other two bedrooms are about the same size.
Bedroom 2 pays 450 - has a walk in closet and connects to hallway bathroom
Bedroom 3 pays 400 - no perks
All utilities and cable and internet are covered in that price. We split the left over money (theres a good chunk) and put it away for a rainy day. We ain't got no worries.
It comes down to living with people you want to and get along with. You know what you can afford. Your roommates SHOULD know what you can afford. If you are already having disagreements, you better get them in check and find common ground on fairness because moving in is just the beginning.
To the people saying it should be dead even... How do you think that? The master bedroom has perks and if it is in contention as to who gets it, money talks BS walks.

but cities are usually designated differently than other forms of population centers as towns, villages, hamlets, or census designated places...

You must live in the slums. Try living in decent spot in SF without a roommate
I mean technically it's possible, but it's extremely foolish to be spending 2K+ in rent unless you're making close to 6 figures.

Most important question is whose name is on the lease. If you ain't signing on that dotted you don't get to dictate terms. If both of you are on the lease then the person with the larger room (only if its substantially larger) should pay more. All of this should be negotiated before moving in. Once you're in its too late to be crying about it.

Yet you ignored what I wrote right after it...
just because it's possible doesn't mean it's a smart idea
superb, no one takes you seriously in any aspect of life

But it's possible. Every young adult should strive for 100% independence. Why do people get roommates? Because they like compromising with people?Because they like not having privacy? Because they enjoy living with their friends? No. They have roommates because they can't pay the rent on their own. If you're truly living with your boys because you guys can have parties and play video games together, then that mentality well represents your living situation, it's a young kids mentality.

Who are you trying to "Be a man" for?
If you live with people who you know well and like roommates are a great thing.
If you think a woman is going to see you as more manly because your by yourself in a studio, you'll be upset when she chooses the bro who brings her to a beautiful 3 or 4 bedroom 2 story house paying exactly what you are + $100-200
The only time roommates matter is when you are ready to settle down and raise a family. I have no interest in that right now. Trynna sow my royal oats..

It's not being a man for anybody other than yourself. Do people not see the importance of being able to prove to yourself that you don't need anybody else in life to survive? If you truly want to rely on other people to get by, then you're holding yourself back. You guys are the same dudes that think it's ok for people to stay with your parents until their mid 20's. It's a shame the lack to importance we put on independence.
