You could have leased 2 nice cars for free if you lived with a roommate. Do you think it's worth it?

Facebook jfyd463 OP Jan 13, 2020

I had a roommate but he got married and kicked me out. Also I don't care for cars. I'm not a Boomer.

Why wouldn't you find another roommate? Okay but $1000 can buy a lot of what ever interests you (per month)

Don’t u think it’s worth it to find a bae in the bay and decrease rent in half while enjoying the same luxuries lol

Are you fat?

I spend more on my house living alone and make less. Should I feel bad?

Huawei slowkid Jan 13, 2020

Why do you like living alone? How much do you value it?

Akamai Technologies dvgB15 Jan 13, 2020

It just feels so good to have everything in my house in the same place where I left and to have all the quietness. I would prefer someone who I know personally to be my roommate but I don't know anyone and I like my situation enough to not try and fine one.

The amount of fiscal shaming on folks who live alone is pretty astounding. OP didn’t even mention age. Maybe 30 years old and time to be a grown ass adult? Living with roommates is fun and all but there’s also value in having a place to call your own.

Huawei slowkid Jan 13, 2020

Ironic because you're shaming people who live in a shared accommodation. Nothing wrong with a 30 year old living with friends

Salesforce brHq56 Jan 13, 2020

I’m not shaming those with roommates, I’m illustrating the contrary of why telling someone they shouldn’t live alone makes no sense

👍🏽 Renting vs owning is a math problem and there are no absolutes ever. In bay area if you arent going to be in the same spot for 15 years then renting 1 or 2 is more economical. Even if you like being leveraged up on a mortgage hoping the home value increases, 30-50k per year wouldn’t make any meaningful difference towards a down payment of 450k anyway.
