<prompt> Human: Background: Im 29, just started making over 6 figsyr wbonus, 40k student loan remaining, 6k CC debt, 300mo car payment, 1400mo apt the area is REALLY not worth it. Upcoming Changes: Getting a cheaper car payment soon aiming for 200mo, moving to bordering state for cheaper taxes and bills at end of lease. Ill be able to clear CC debt with my bonus this year. Main Question: Im moving at the beginning of December, so Im looking at rentalsapartments. Im trying to decide between a 1bd for 1000mo or getting a 2bd2ba for 1300-1700mo and then finding a roommate. Is it worth dealing with the headache of having a roommate in a 2bd2ba just to save a few hundred a month?  <response>: While a 2br2ba situation is a little less private than a 11 setup I find that you usually get more choices in amentities like in unit laundry, private entrance apartments, storage areas etc. Typically 1 br apartments dont bother with these. Also, rent is just a piece of the puzzle. Splitting the internet, heat, water, and electric bills can be huge. In the end its really up to you but personally living with a roommate has never bothered me too much so your mileage may vary.
