So I pay $595 a month for my house plus electric. Its really not that bad when you consider its a full house with a back yard! Its only a two bedroom but, if I'm going to cut back spending I might as well move to a cheaper place...Right? WRONG!
If I was to move out I would still owe my land lord who has been extremely patient $4,760 plus add moving expenses. You have the Uhaul which is $20 a day, security deposit and firsts months rent (which face it would probably be 495) so that's over $1000 not including having to pay security deposits for utilities.
Nope I'm stuck here...
So now what's left to do?
ROOM MATE! I thought long and hard on this one. I have two kids and only 2 bedrooms. If I got someone I don't know then I'm gonna have to ask for only 1/4 the rent and utilities which would also leave me and the boys cramped into one room together. I could never fit all out bedroom stuff into one room!
My kids father is the answer for me. We are civil to each other and be is renting a room, so he really doesn't have much. When I told him the idea he jumped right on it.
He only needs 1 dresser for his clothes and he is willing to pay for half of everything! Rent, electric, food, and child care.
