Anybody Here Live With A Roommate?

[winb83]

wish I knew some of this stuff earlier

but yeah don't move in with your friends, if you gotta have roommates to split the rent or whatever then go with randoms, you'll respect their space and they'll respect your space.

random people introduce trust issues and social circle issues. if you have to have a roommate it should probably be a relative you damn near grew up with and know very well. a brother or a cousin that was raised with you.

oh yeah, no doubt moving in with randoms has its own set of problems too, but as long as you communicate with them and lay down the rules early on, it works out fine in my experience

my roomates arent to bad they do my dishes and my laundry. they dont make me pay rent but they always make me call them mom and dad.

forreal tho im tryin get the fukk up outta here its not so bad living at home but its time to smoke blunts and bang bytches in my own crib. i plan on getting a place with my 2 homeys tho. I feel like you know which one of your friends you could live with and which ones u cant.

Living at home is a blessing... appreciate the time you got with your parents

Had one for 4 months.. just moved out.. one of my best friends and still is, but damn that was painful. Once one roommate establishes that they like the place clean, the other stops cleaning up after themselves

I been living with roommates for the past 3 years with almost no issues. All types of combinations in a 3br townhouse. male and/or female. Me and 2 white girls, me and one white girl one white guy, etc. Met'em all off craigslist. Most important thing is always their financial situation, do they have a fulltime job and do they pay their shyt on time. Landlord will do a credit check

Mostly everybody buys their own food and if there's ever been an issue, we squash it ASAP. communication is key. none of that passive aggressive leaving a sticky note on the fridge type shyt. like when my current roommate moved in, the very first week this bytch drank my entire bottle of red wine on the low then lied when I asked her if she did. I called her out on it and I gave her the and told her that shyt wont fly here. she then ended up buyin me another bottle and 2 years later we been :shake: ever since.

So I get to live in a dope neighborhood downtown close to everything just 2 blocks from a subway station while saving over $1200/mo but nikkas in the apartments across the street are paying $2000 for a 1br.

I imagine at some point I'll want to buy my own spot soon but everytime I get a new job with higher pay or a raise while my rent stays low I look at how my bank account has grown and go

I've done it and each time it was playa as hell.

My first apt with 2 of my boys was like a motel It was cool. Nobody cooked, we cleaned up after ourselves and everything was A-1.

My second apartment was Shyt was laidddddd. Hoes droppin drawlz when they came thru. This was one of my other boys but I use to win like a mf off him, he had females on DECK. House stayed cleaned and we both worked, dranked and fuccked hoes.

 

[patscorpio]

live by myself for the past 4+ years and wouldnt have it any other way..having a female roommate is something ill never do again...shyt is a nightmare and a half

 

[re'up]

Never really lived in a situation with roommates, formally, like friends, or something, as a responsible adult.. I slept on the couch for a few months in my young and struggling days, three of us trapping, working, and going to school out of one little three bedroom in the hood, funny shyt. We were all 18, shyt was a nightmare, as a living space, no one cleaned, it was just disgusting, but everyone was just not in that mature space. I'd stay up all night doing coke/drinking with bytches, or without, I'd hear the first buses when they started up at 5:00 AM, or laying up listening to the girls upstairs coming home from partying in TJ...

Lived in like a 5 bedroom house with a girl I was sleeping with at the time, who had a lot of money, and that shyt was a nightmare, 6-7, 18 -19 year olds, no jobs, a lot of money, drinking everyday, I'm sleeping with my friends older sister, and he's living down the hall, it was some hectic shyt...

Been on my own since, besides the work furlough, and county, and I like it, the problem, is with a roommate, what I am paying for a studio, could have a 2 bedroom penthouse/suite like my boys, but I'd rather be by myself, I think.

Assuming you're a black dude, how was that experience for you? Not even trying to imply anything sexual. Just the culture shock alone. The mental images I'm getting from two white girls and a black dude living together is

Me and my dog live together. That's as far as it goes. If you can't afford your own place you should live with your parents till you can. Roommates are for people struggling to live outside their means. If you can't pay that rent in full on your own then you don't need to be living there.

Co-sign, most of the folks I know live on their own, but they have roommates
I'm not knocking it, but that ain't for me. I still live at home, but when I move out, I gotta be by myself. Unless it's w/ your family(wife/gf and/or kids), living w/ people as an adult seems pointless.
