While we wait on Plan A (receiving livable wages) to pan through, we have Plan B. Roommating. Intentional communities and adult housing alike are on the rise since rent has become insufferably un-affordable.
Here are 5 ways you could successfully roommate with others.

To Do:
  • Learn financial education here.  You'll have clear money goals to be financially free where you can spend, save, & pay off all your bills to feel empowered and not working just to pay off debt. 
  • Figure out how many roommates you'll need in order to pay off your household bills. Pick out the house or apartment that suits these wages. According to David Bach in his book "The Automatic Millionaire" you should spend no more than 10% on your monthly income your mortgage or rent.
  • Make sure you and your roommates are financially & individually responsible, have a job, and mentally stable. During the interviewing process, it is wise to ask these questions to potential roommates to be successful.
​FYI you can also turn your space into an eco village and save money such as making a garden and using solar power.
