so I have to move out of my current apartment since they want to "renovate" the place and then jack up the price.

should I live on my own again, or get a roomate?

living on my own is nice.. the freedom and all... getting a roomate saves me $$$.. but I am afraid we wont go that well..

sooo.... any reccomendations?

if you can afford it, live alone. no sense in stressing friendships over chips and toothpaste.

about $400 ish a month

Then it all depends on ur financial situation.... i live alone... but kinda wish i had a roomate just for the extra $$ i'd save/spend

I can totally afford living alone.. but $400 a month is $400!! thats quite a lot of $$$...

I can put save that as downpayment for a house.. or to buy a new video card each month :D:D

in that case you could put a mini-fridge in your room and that would solve some issues.

youre right, 400 savings a month is pretty nice.

Dont ever get a roomate, unless its your significant other. Not worth the headache.

If you can afford to, get your own place.

I'm getting my own place in about a month and am looking forward to not having a roomate any more.

I am looking to pay about 1200-1400 for my own 1 bedroom apt..

if I get a 2 bedroom and share with a roomate, I will have to pay only 900-1000 ish.. that is a lot of $$ in savings right there...

well I think the key thing is finding the right roomate

definitely live alone if you can afford it...

your own bathroom and bedroom will NOT be off limits.
My roommate used to go into mine all the time and it annoyed the hell out of me....
borrow clothes...or whatever. Yuck!
