    Most roommate situations are 2 or 3 people. So that’s either half or a third of the cost. I’d call that “easily” yes.

      A half or third of the cost… that has been doubled or tripled due to enough space that you’re not sleeping together. I lived in a flyover town in a situation similar to the poster. A studio apartment sucks. Trying to shove another person in there is a nightmare, and getting a slightly bigger apartment balloons your rent in a cartoonishly exaggerated manner.

        The more rooms an apartment or house has, the less you pay for each one separately. I paid less than €300/month living with 2 other roommates.

        Maybe you’re talking about the US.

          In a thread about a post with the words “The american experiment has utterly failed and I hate you all”

          In a thread about a post with the word “obongocare”

          In a thread about a post with the concept of a healthcare crisis leaving you destitute, ruined, or dead

        If you have absolutely no standards, it’s easy. If you’re trying to filter out the assholes who will make your life hell, then you’re right, it’s not easy.
