moved out when i was 20, but 2 years ago i bought a house. lived alone for a while but recently got a roommate to split my mortgage payments

I moved out when I was 22 when i got my first big cat job, i had roommates then but they never paid their part of the rent and also didn't clean up after themselves so it was kind of like having children instead of roommates. then I got an even bigger cat job and chose not to have roommates for a while. then someone else moved in in a complicated situation and they also don't pay rent but at least they clean up. soon i will have two different roommates who I am relatively sure will pay their share of rent and probably be mostly clean so here's hoping

I respect yall for that, takes a big person to put up with that and in these days of skyrocketing rent it makes sense to have a roommate to help w/ the bills. I tried the roommate thing for a while but eventually had to part ways with said friend because they got fired from their job for showing up drunk, couldn't pay their half of the bills, and amongst other drama they had going on in their life it was too much of a handful for me to deal with whilst having my own life stuff to deal with at that time. I'm still friends with the guy to this day, but I wouldn't want to be roomies ever again lol

Back in highschool my friends and I wanted to create the "Minimum Wage Guild" because we figured that we could live in a house with as many rooms as there are incomes. Five years later, the only person not living with their parents still has a military spouse.

I actually wanted a roommate as soon as I bought the place, but I'm also extremely cautious and knew exactly what I wanted in a roommate.

months ago I went out to dinner with an ex coworker & friend of mine to catch up. dude works hard and keeps to himself, so when he mentioned he was trying to move out of his apartment I immediately offered him to room at my place. he always pays rent on time & is very clean (way better than I am lol). love the guy.

im actually also getting another roommate soon who is an ex-blocklander but for the sake of their privacy, I'm not gonna share any details

Technically no as me and my dad rent a townhome together, but we split all of the bills. Either this summer or the next me and my girlfriend are planning to move out and get our own place together.

[Sheepocalypse]

Moved out and bought my first home at 22. Sold it in 2024 and bought my second home right after at the ripe age of 25

[ultimamax]

living alone rules though. love waking up in the morning and walk around my house rooster and balls posted

[16-Bit]

25 and no because i have to take care of an elderly relative and i have no real career

[SBG]

26 and im still with my folks, too. i often stay with my Grandma because she's kind of a hermit and would be lonely without me and one of my brothers. since im working and don't really pay any big bills for rent aside from electricity/utilities, the food i eat, and car payments, I'm able to save up a lot more from my job. Gonna try to get into the land surveying/CAD work field this or next year.

I get along easy with my parents/grandparents, so I really got no need to try and get my own place and spend more than necessary. That kind of pride is expensive.

just curious but didn't you say your main job consisted of CAD work a few years ago?

somewhere in the later half of my 20s.

Moved out with my friend (who was also my coworker) for a comfy sysadmin job that we did for 2 years. He wanted to move back with his parents so I've been living on my own for another 2 years now. My girlfriend will actually be moving in with me this weekend.

Honestly living by myself for 2 years was pretty nice, especially when I became unemployed. I had plenty of money and no obligations, no schedules, I could eat and sleep whenever... it was nice. But all good things must come to an end and I'm all ready for it.
