Hello everyone. I recently moved to a new city and am living in a temporary living situation until August 30. So that means I need to find a new place to live before that date.
My issue is deciding whether to live alone or with a roommate. I am an introvert and like my privacy, and do not like the idea of living with someone else. However, I am frugal and want to make sure I am not throwing away money that I could otherwise be saving. A few things:
I have a roommate currently and I do not feel comfortable when I am home. She never leaves the apartment and just the fact that I am sharing with someone really bothers me. I'm not sure if it's just her or if I'll feel this way no matter what.
A coworker of mine has offered to room with me and I think she is more suited toward my living style, but I'm still nervous. I really just want to live alone, but I am second guessing myself and worrying that I won't be able to afford it or I'll get lonely.
I have a boyfriend who I spend weekends with. I love going to his place cause he lives alone and there is no one there to bother us. That's not the case when he comes to my place. Constant interruption with the roommate wanting to chat.
My boyfriend makes the same amount as me and he is living alone just fine, so I believe I can do it too. I have been saving whatever money I could since I was 16, and don't feel the need to purchase expensive products.
Can someone give me some insight on what I should do? I'm torn between my own comfort and saving money.
