Good god. That's a nightmare. Not even worth saving an extra couple hundred bucks a month in my opinion.
A lot of those were college roommates, where you have a lot less choice. Note: I never lived with the same person twice. Each year I had some doozies, and I found new roommates for the next year.
Once I hit life after college, it was more than just a few hundred bucks. It was probably more like $400/month = $5000 a year. Which, by the way, was 1/4 of my pay. That's not an insignificant amount.
I totally forgot about the two dudes that I lived with for 6 months, when we were at nuke school. They liked to listen to Van Halen, loudly, all the time.
In retrospect I don't think they were that bad. We didn't get along all that well, but we muddled on through. I think we were all under stress. The only other woman who was at nuke school with me had a male roommate (who I'd known a long time), they didn't get along either.
So she and I bonded pretty well over our annoying roommates. I'm glad we didn't live together, because it is possible that the stress we were under would have caused us to not get along.
You can tolerate a lot if you have to. I was poor, had debt, was on my own. I couldn't rely on my family for any help.
I remember talking to someone once about furniture. My first place (the rented room in the basement) after college, the prior renter wanted to sell me her mattress and box spring. The other roommate told me to decline because she felt the seller would be too lazy to move it. So I did. She left it anyway. I had that mattress and box spring (on the floor), until I got married. It had a big dent in the middle because she was NOT a small woman. Someone told me that I had NO BUSINESS moving out on my own if I couldn't afford furniture. Well, thanks for your opinion? But the Navy pretty much expects me to show up on June 8, whether I can afford furniture or not.
