minus-squarehogposting [he/him,comrade/them]hexbear31·4 years agoIt's important to point out why "get a roommate" isn't just sound financial advice: On most leases, you're liable for the whole amount if your roommate bails/can't pay Finding roommates trustworthy enough to live with isn't always an option Needing a roommate further restricts your housing search, meaning you'll likely further compromise on stuff like how close you live to your workplace You can do it, but it opens the door to a bunch of different types of risk that you accept in exchange for being able to scrape by. link
