Roommates....
So I did the math and after taxes, on average I bring in enough money to maintain my savings. I'll be able to save at least 1200 monthly if I live alone. However if I get roommates That'll go up to almost 1600-1800 depending on the situation.
It's important to me to keep saving no matter what. I don't have insurance so I'd like to build a nest egg in the event that anything happens. Or just to hold on to for trips, emergencies or anything of the sort. Plus with my commute increasing, gas, a gym membership and bus passes will become new introductions to my monthly income. Also I think having roommates could be fun. I have two friends that have offered but they aren't moving until June so I'd have to stay another month at the old place and pay 875, something I'd like to avoid. Creatively... having my own place would probably be a better idea. I'd have full range to use the space for anything I wanted.
But again, it sounds a little better to just be around other people. Especially during the summer. Although that could back fire in part because I'd be interested in going out with people all the time instead of staying in and working... I don't want to waste this time by letting the shine of the city and the pretty girls throw me off my game. I am after all trying to build an empire. So living alone while slightly less financially awesome might be better in the long run and keep me out of trouble.
After all that I still don't know what I want.
