    Never lived solo. Had roommates til I was 23 then lived with my girl since. Living with my homie for years was fun for the time but def was gonna get old soon. The savage way we were living couldn't go on forever.

    Roommates are definitely wack as a grown man but the financial reality is such that sometimes you need it. And living with a roommate >> living in your mama's basement.

    My advices:

    1. live with someone you KNOW...like you're familiar with their quirkiness and Strange ass behaviors. I've heard a billion horror stories about ? finding roommates on Craigslist and Facebook and ? . Don't be a statistic

    2. live with someone who complements you....if you're a messy slob don't ? live with a clean freak and vice versa. Someone's gonna get killed. If you work weird hours and gotta sleep in the day don't live with someone who plays drums during the day

    3. Don't live with ? period whether you fuckign them or not. If you're ? them and ? goes south after she finds you ? her sis then you're stuck living with a salty hoe for another 7 months or one of you gets forced out. If you're not ? them you're gonna end up trying to ? them and mess the whole ? up.

    Plus it's emasculating to have them bringing over dudes from the club to ? 'em while you're sitting in the living room trying to watch Luke Cage

    4. All that being said financial responsibility >>>> trumps all other concerns. Nothing worse than living with deadbeats who you gotta chase for rent and bills every month.

    Sounds like you speaking from experience ?

    This is why my situation ain't like others who have roommates. I don't live no damn stranger or even associate for that matter.

    Better to live solo, but cost of living up here is far too expensive so i got roommates. I live downstairs though and they live upstairs. The ? lets me eat their food too so that worked out pretty cool in my favor.

    If you live somewhere where it's expensive af (NY, bay area, LA) I see nothing wrong with having roommates.

    If you're just tryna be cheap tho your spot better be big enough to where you and your roommate(s) can't disturb each other when doing your own ? . If you're sleep you better not be able to be woken up by somebody having the blender on.

    Never lived solo. Had roommates in college, have my brother living with me since I've been out of school. The good is you save half your money on a mortgage/rent/bills. You always have someone to talk to or hang with.

    The bad (maybe bc it's my brother) is I start to enter a comfort zone of family and don't socialize as much outside as I would if I was alone. I remember when I just had random roommates I made it a point to always be out and never in the dorm. Had more women and friends bc of that and more business opportunities bc my alone time was spent plotting.

    The good about living alone is you don't have to ever think about anyone else when you make a decision on how you live.

    No roommate after college unless you just trying to stack cash. Personal preference, no judgment on anyone that does differently though.
