I mean if you can’t afford it you could just talk to them and let them know that you are both looking for different things and won’t be a good roommate match. Can’t hate a baddie for wanting to live large 😭

When I lived with my friend off campus for the first time I found something in their price range (so it was their price rangex2) to make them more comfortable. Now we’re even closer as friends and if we were to live together again I would be really honest and say “I have these preferences we may not be able to get in your price range. Here is mine. Can we do my price range+yours?” And just have to be ok paying more since they’re my friend. It doesn’t have to be dramatic or a big deal

Agreed everyone got a budget… we are in college. If they got parents that pay more for rent cool but it’s gonna be hard for them to find roomates. And if any of those room mates move out you all are fucked if the rents already high.

then maybe you should talk to them about that before moving into an apartment with rent being 2k? like you have the option to say no or suggest finding someplace else like it’s on you to have that conversation

Why are you guys repeating what I said? 😭 like that’s literally what I said and that baddie isn’t living large she’s living off her parents money.

Because all you did was complain, if you’re not on her level don’t bitch about it. Move on and get a cheaper roomie 😘 no hate on having parents that were able to provide for you (as someone who’s parents are not involved in my finances) but I don’t hate on those that do get help because I would too if it was offered.

That’s literally what I said like did you miss the boat. Nobody’s home but the security cameras caught it I’m assuming.

No babes that’s not okay if you simply cannot or don’t want to afford that much speak that. You guys should both be comfortable. Not just one person yes I get you guys are the best of friends. But I wouldn’t want my friend to sacrifice her comfort. You guys live together so it should be a together thing.

No that’s what I’m saying. I make more money than them now that we’re not students anymore. So I could afford let’s say 1200 where they might only be able to do 700 now. Previously we both did 800. I wouldn’t want to downgrade by both doing 700. So I would say “because you’re my friend, I’m comfortable paying more, it’s not a big deal, can we look at places that are 1900 not 1400?”

Oh okay well that makes sense My apologies I misinterpreted the last part of your first comment. But yeah I mean as long as you guys are communicating that’s fine. But some ppl don’t they go get these expensive apartments and don’t even consider their friends wishes. It’s easier to live with ppl that have the same wish and finances as you. Cause that alone can ruin some friendships

This people don’t seem to understand this at all. And evictions can ruin your record. You will have the hardest time getting another place to stay. Those roommates won’t go through that they’ll just have their parents get them a place to stay.

You can find a 4room duplex house downtown for $1600-1800 a month split between 4-6 people that’s less than $500 a month. A lot of my friends have looked at really nice apartments for $2.5k-3k a month but it’s just not ideal. Shit adds up in time.

Wanting people to snap back into reality is not a dig. What I just said was a dig, not what OP said. Had to give an example

I’m not doing this because I’m tired of you guys repeating what I say like seriously is it hard to read or are you guys just wanting to feel important

as long as she didn’t completely ignore you saying that isn’t in your price range or anything like that and listened when you brought it up she didn’t really do anything wrong
