Concept.

A friend of mine has said she's looking for a roomate. We haven't spent much time together, but she seems pretty nice and at least nominally mature and stable-- as much as any of us are at this point in our lives. But the thought of having a roommate again is really a 50/50 split for my brain at this point.

ANY reduction in rent would be a huge help.

An actual house, rather than an apartment, would just rock. O, for a garden!

Sharing utilities would also reduce my monthly outlay.

Having a roommate might get me out of the damned house once in a while-- and no, not out of murderous need to flee.

On the other hand, I'm difficult to live with. I'm VERY particular about my messes.

I AM messy.

I like to wander my house in various states of undress, and/or sing. Late at night.

I'm used to my idiot dog. Other people might not be.

She has three cats. I have three cats. Oh, G-d.

Not that it's an issue now, but when I'm in a relationship-- again some day, by G-d!-- I like not having someone else in the house.



I'll be thinking about this one a while. Thankfully, I have a few months.

I have to tell you, I am SO happy to be renting a house in Philadelphia.

I pay $725 for a two story, plus basement, two bedroom house. I had a friend who paid $1400 for a townhouse. We live in a cute, quiet, family friendly neighborhood. The previous owner put in GOOD windows and stuff, so our utilities are low (Except when we're running central air all summer)... I honestly don't know why everyone's not doing this!

And, when we moved out of our first two-bedroom apartment, three years ago now, it was because the rent was going up to $825.

And did I mention my three cats are REALLY really happy?

Just some food for thought.
