Hello Mustachians!
I'm looking for a gentle push to try the roommate thing out. How many is too many? I'm 28 single male, making $100k... If that matters (probably not)
Current living situation: 1 bed 1 bath paying $575 plus electric (~$25 a month). I don't have internet and use mobile hotspot for netflix/light browsing. I do miss online gaming a tad.
I'm getting a new job 30 minutes away from me.
looking through the internet... These are the numbers I'm finding
$420 = 3 roommates utilities included
$500 = 2 roommates, utilities included
$475 = 1 roommate, utilities not included ($75 a month I'm guessing for internet and electric?)
$900 = 0 roommates, utilities included (I could live in a tiny studio for $800 all included, but basically no kitchen).
All within 5 minutes of new work!
I did have 1 roommate a couple years ago in San Diego, and my roommate was almost never there. It was amazing. I feel like I should try my luck again with roommates, but I'm getting cold feet.
I do value taking long baths, and cooking... Which I feel like having roommates cramps both (although is that worth $400+ a month to do? Hell no).
Please help me make a decision :) Thank you!
