<prompt> Human: The finances: Im a 24-year-old woman make 3400month before taxes and pay 650month in rent so our total rent is 1300month, plus maybe an additional 50-80 in utilities depending on the season. I have an emergency fund, six months worth of savings, and additional investments. I am incredibly frugal, but live what I consider to be a comfortable lifestyle...in part because I am something of a homebody and spend a good deal of my time in our apartment. The situation: We have a great, if tiny, apartment - were renting out the entire top floor of a house that has been recently remolded and has its own washerdryer and is located in a very quiet, safe neighborhood. My roommate is not the worst, but is driving me crazy: she is moderately messy, doesnt complete her share of the chores, and is loud enough to be annoying but with earplugs in I can still sleep. Its a livable situation, but I am constantly cleaning up after her and it is causing me an unusual amount of stress I know I sound crazy. She doesnt pitch in with anything, ever - when it comes to additional housework, fixing things around the apartment, making sure bills are paid, communicating with our landlords, etc. that is all up to me. In many ways its how I imagine life would be like with a small child, but in some reverse universe where that was financially beneficial. If I were to move, I ditch the roommate yay! but also would end up paying probably an additional 350 in rent, and would probably not be able to find an apartment that has been updated and has a washerdryer in-unit. I can afford it fairly easily, but would not be able to put away as much in my retirementinvestment funds. This is a question I have seriously been struggling with for the majority of the time weve lived together. Does anyone have any insight or advice?  <response>: Or you just get a different roommate.
