Renting A Place With A Roommate: Should I Go For It? 

For three years of my life, I have lived with a roommate. And the one year afterward, I have been experiencing living alone. 

To say that I have experienced the worst and the best of living alone as well as having a roommate is an understatement. Today we are going to talk about the perks of renting a place with a roommate. 

Be warned that having a roommate tag along your journey of living alone and away from your parents can be both your nightmare and the biggest blessing. There are so many things to look out for when choosing a roommate. You have to think about your own emotional maturity, the compatibility of both people, and the consideration you both will give one another. 

Lifestyle also plays a huge role in how your roommate’s life pans out. Students are more likely to be happier when renting out with other students. Working members are much more compatible with other members who work as well. So many students and employees rent together in beautiful cities like Taman Melawati and commute from one place to another. 

Now let’s move on to the perks of having an awesome roommate move in with you! 

Saving Money 

When living with a roommate you are potentially sharing all the expenses. From utility bills to the internet, Netflix subscriptions, furniture expenses, and even decoration expenses! There are so many potential ways you can save money with the help of your roommate. So many even share their groceries with one another, as long as they like the same things. Depending on how much you both like to eat, make sure your grocery bill is shared in a fair manner. 

Have Tons Of Fun 

Having a roommate is a lot of fun. You have a partner to play games with, go out for parties, or even have a party with. You have someone who can go out with you and enjoy the city, go for a late-night drink or even hang out in the space of your home. Whether you both like to stay home or go out, you are bound to have so much fun getting to know one another. 

Lot Less Lonelier 

Having a roommate can make your life a lot easier and a lot less lonely. When you are trying to assemble all the furniture you have a helping hand. When you have a nervous breakdown because of exam stress, you have a friend to lean on. When you cannot get the taste of the pasta right, you have a fun friend to share your mistakes and even successes with. Roommates can make your shift from your parents’ home to the outside world an easier one. If you are someone who gets lonely easily, having a roommate certainly won’t hurt. 

Roommates can be fun, lively, and highlight of your years away from home. It is important to make sure that your roommates are a good influence on you and promote good things in your life. When choosing a town or a neighborhood to live in with your roommates, make sure to choose one that is safe and secure like Taman Melawati.
