  A half or third of the cost… that has been doubled or tripled due to enough space that you’re not sleeping together. I lived in a flyover town in a situation similar to the poster. A studio apartment sucks. Trying to shove another person in there is a nightmare, and getting a slightly bigger apartment balloons your rent in a cartoonishly exaggerated manner.

    The more rooms an apartment or house has, the less you pay for each one separately. I paid less than €300/month living with 2 other roommates.

    Maybe you’re talking about the US.

      In a thread about a post about “flyover nowheresville”

      In a thread about a post with the words “The american experiment has utterly failed and I hate you all”

      In a thread about a post with the word “obongocare”

      In a thread about a post with the concept of a healthcare crisis leaving you destitute, ruined, or dead

      “Maybe you’re talking about the US”

  Getting roommates is the part I wouldn’t call easy.

    If you have absolutely no standards, it’s easy. If you’re trying to filter out the assholes who will make your life hell, then you’re right, it’s not easy.
