Moving in with someone to save money?

[luvbunnies42]

Have you ever thought about taking on tennants or a roommate to save money?

It's not something I would do especially with family or friends.I feel it causes problems but I know people that have done this and had things go ok too.Sometimes I don't think it helps a situation any.I think you may only break even with added expenses and not really cut the cost of the ones you have by doing so.What's your take on this?

I uses to have a friend living with my apartment when I was young to save money this is good idea, because you share expenses and space, but if you renting a house and have a lot of room why not to share at least 2 room to cut your expenses and saving money?

Also you have somebody that you can do relationship go to shopping, movies , social connection is great!

I am living with my roommate to save the money but I dont have any privacy and I've started to hate my dear friend.

So you are living on College campus or you have rent your own house, I know how hard is to living with roommate because it is limit of privacy! because you want to do something other and your friend want to do also something other and there is always some misunderstanding. I know how college life look like as I have graduate from many different college and I am currently unemployment

I have had tenants for a long time. I have a spare room near the front of the house and I try to keep it rented out. For the most part I have done fairly well, because it's been through friends or aquaintances. I've only had one "bad seed" and I kicked him out right away.

It has saved me tremendously!

Lissa, so you have split bills together and divide those by two? when I was young 20 years back I always try to save money and take tenant to my apartment I was renting those apartment and pay like $100 dollar a month! but you know 20 years back $100 dollar was like $1000 dollar now! and I share those billing with 2 of my friend( it was my girlfriend then currently that my wife ) and my 2 best friend and we uses to pay about $50 dollar include all utilities fee!
