Anyone need a roommate?

[Ashton]

Lookin for a roommate in the boulder/lafayette/louisville/longmont area...... im tired of all the shit at home.... so im movin out.

[damian9669]

whats going on at home that you want to move out?
dont your parents help you with your car? how iwll moving out help your situation.You seem like youre strapped for cash already.Wont moving out and having to pay for rent and utilities make your situation worse?

[ryanman]

Dood, don't do it. Trust me. Just work out your problems with your parents and such before you go out on your own. Living on your own isn't cheap by no means, especially here in CO. Think twice before you act!!!!!!

yeah.what he said.^

[Skaterkid]

Seriously, its nice, but shit, I'd rather have free rent and food than be live by myself

[LeonZ]

Hell yeah. There is no way I'm moving out until I finish college. Well may be not but it's not worth, especially since you're in high school.

[chris_venturini]

haha, moving out was the best thing ive ever done. I am king of my domain and no one tells me other wise, except when i start having to pay my loans. But if you do you will quickly realize how expensive food is, and you how much of a pain it is to clean, good thing im way too lazy for that.

[David]

im not going to move out until my parents throw me out kicking and screaming (in about 1 year :( )

[doctorstupid]

and you think you can afford to move out and make car payments? um... no.

yea but you dont have to pay rent do you?

[chris_venturini]

yeah i do, im just not paying it now. I also have a college fund that ive been living off of for a while. so my loans wont be outrageous, in fact they wont be over 5000. (hopefully)

[ryanman]

and you think you can afford to move out and make car payments? um... no.
And food, and water, and electricity, and gas, and insurance, and .......................... It goes on and on and on.

[ryanman]

yeah i do, im just not paying it now.
:rofl: :rofl:

[STIBungy]

Yeah, it costs alot more than you think living on your own. The initial costs are high because you have to buy alot of the basic necessities to live off of. Then, there comes the monthly recurring expenses: cable, phone, utilities, food, etc.

[STIBungy]

Spoiled.

My parents didnt have a college fund for me. For me, it was take out loans and work to stay in school.

[chris_venturini]

ill tell you what, i wil give you free rent in my house, all you have to do is let me drive your z whenever i want during that period. I have first priority, even over you.

[LeonZ]

I live with my parents.. they don't charge rent but they made me one of the home owners and I pay mortgage. I also pay for college right away without loans, insurance, car payments, and other bills. All this with a shitty salary and I plan to get a more expensive car pretty soon and still go out and spend money every now and then. Sometimes it's tough staying at home, but whatever...

[Steve_C]

that's 1 thing about letting asian parents help you buy a car, you put up with so much shit. when i was 16, they help me buy a car, but i was paying for it myself. still, i would always hear them complain about this and that. that was a long time ago, and right now i'm riding the bmw. it's a good car and all, but just doesn't cut it too well in the snow. so they are offering to help me buy another car. i told them forget it and wait till the summer and i'll come up with something. all the while, i'm paying for insurance on the bmw and honda, still making payments on the honda, paying my cable and phone bill, 400-500 a month to my mom for rent, and tuition plus going out whenever i can.

this might seem like alot of cash, but when you move out, it's gonna be alot more. so i don't plan, and they won't let me move out for awhile.

Dont be an idiot.. i tried it. Listen to go into college and support your self... you need a good job... second you need it to be part time... 3rd you need to clean after your self when you come home all tired and then you have to do you college work then you might have to deal with a roomate that wont clean up after him self.. eat your food. and blah blah blah... its best to stay home.... in rare... i mean rare cases its better to leave home...

[GiRLieGirL SoL]

why would you consider it spoiled? Geez, people like you are annoying. Don't get mad because someone else's parents are more well off then yours. I'm not talking shit, but my parents have worked really hard and are extremely well off. So then am I spoiled that they worked hard for me to pay for my college, just like I'm going to do for my kids? Don't be a hater.

[Ashton]

No... it REALLY sucks.....

my parents are sooo bitchy they take away my cars for almost ANY reason. my bathroom was dirty. car gone for 2 days. my grades came home i was sick for 2 weeks with strep, an ear infection, and that virus going around... not an excuse. im not driving my car for a week EVEN though i made up the test and my grades are back to A's and a B now....... but no.... i was sick therefor "i fucked up". they say im immature, yell at me for hours on end about how there day was bad so they take it out on me.... its ridiculous i dont need to come home and get yelled at for 2 hours every day.... its not something i want.

theyre going to make me pay rent now because im irresponsible.... which doesent even make sense at all! they definately dont need money.... but theyre making me pay rent because im irresponsible... thats retarted! anyways if i move out im keeping the Z to make payments on, im selling my 626..... for money for rent and shit for a while, and maybe selling the accord.... i will only sell the accord if they let me take the truck which i have to share..... but i dont know whats gonna happen with the truck since i share it..... i can pay rent and food.... but insurance might get me... thats the only thing im afraid of......

and to top if off they grounded me! at 17 they freakin grounded me! this is ridiculous.... i have to pay rent and am grounded excuse me? fuck that.

[Skaterkid]

How many cars do you have?

[DrJones]

I'm 21 (almost 22) and in college. If my parrents lived closer I would move home in a second. Just what I would save in rent and food alone would be enough of a reason to. When you out on your own it's all about money... and when your in college you don't have a lot of it floating around.

Good thing I get out in a few months....

[stu]

Sounds like eveyone's parents that I've ever known. Suck it up. And if you think that once your 17 *snicker* that you're told old to be grounded, you've got a lot to learn. Well, mainly that you're not to old to be grounded.

[doctorstupid]

my cars
my bathroom
my 626
accord
truck

SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU SPOILED LITTLE BITCH!!

seriously! your life is sooooooo hard, cry me a fucking river...

[-=[Juztin]=-]

Would I trade in having to pay the monthly living cost of around $2000 dollars for some grounding, bickering with parents and the general deal that comes along with living at home.............yea.....IN A HEART BEAT

My advice to you is the same as Stu's, suck it up, shut up, and deal with it. No disrespect, but your much better off with your parents than on your own. The moment you move out and get the bills, and responsibility, you'll realize that.

[ryanman]

:werd:

Get over it and move on.

[Skaterkid]

Hell, who didn't hate their parents at 17?

[Kwando]

Living on your own isn't all that!

[Bedlam]

How can they "take away your car" if its yours? Whos name is on the title? It sounds like you are on a pretty good leash there. :p

My parents never took away my car..because I 100% paid for it and the title was in my name..go figure.

-Bedlam

If I had the opportunity to do it all over again, I'd live at home untill I was about 21 or 22. Then I'd have around $50,000 in the bank minumum, probabaly more. I'd have tons of $$ to go out and have fun with, I'd have a full fridge and pantry available 24-7.
I'm 24 now and OWN a great home and great car, I had zero help from my parents from the age 16 on up, but there are drawbacks. I have a pretty good job but my toys rule my paychecks, my mortgage and carpayments are paid but thats about it right now. I have little cash to go out and blow on a night on the town, my fridge and pantry are EMPTY.
I wish I would have heard all of our advise many years ago.

[foxxof]

being on your own rocks. no rules right! kinda. roomates arent all they are cracked up to be either. being at home can be miserable at times. in fact i never was happier then when i went out and did it on my own. i was buying a repo'd home in fort collins this summer and that fell through, otherwise i wouldnt be living with my folks again. but now that i am it is great. cheap rent and bills. im paying the hell out of my debts. and ive never gotten along with my family more than after i moved out. if you do go out on your own take one word of advise and dont charge shit or take out loans you dont have to. pay for everything with money you already have. it will make your life 5 years from now so much better.

what would moving out mean for college for you? would your parents pay for it? would they help you with any finances at all? you will go crazy trying to pay for a car pay for insurance all the bills food rent gas tuition books...... and work hard enough at school to get the grades you will want to get. if your expecting to go into college and be fine with getting c's and b's dont go. you'll get c's and d's. you'll skip class to go to work and make that car payment. pretty soon you'll drop out and work full time.

how long till your out of your house anyway? thats the real question.

[2000SiVTEC]

Kids like you make me sick. To me it just sounds like you are an unappreciative little asshole. I am not going to lie, I have had the good life. My parents pay for everything except for my vehicles. They have absoultely no desire for me to be out of the house, nor do i want to move out. But the difference in you and I is that I appreciate everything they have ever done/do for me. I am taking 17 hours this semester and still work full time. And by full time I mean 40+ a week. I know wouldn't change anything in my life right now. I have plenty of time to go out and live on my own and have the worries of all the bills. But I would rather be doing things this way, making money, putting it away and concentrating on my education. And I am still able to go wherever I want whenever I want. Trust me having money to go out and do anything you want is awesome. You will probably realize that in a couple years.

Did you ever stop to think you probably are irresponsible, most 17 year olds are? Were you asked to clean up and didn't? If so you deserve your punishment. My philosophy is if you want to be treated like an adult act like one, not like an overgrown 12 year old. Take it for what it is man, your parents are not there to cater to your every beck and call, sometimes they will get mad at you. I say deal with it, you have a lot of growing up to do from what I see on this board ( I think this post exemplifies it very well). My advice is to just stay at home, don't put yourself in a bad position for your future.

[chris_venturini]

hell, ive been at my parents house sick for 2 days and i already cant wait to go back to my own place. In my own opinion I think that moving out during college is an important part of growing up and learning about responsibility. Your priorities change realy fast, but if you are mature enough you can do it. I think in your situation it isnt feasable, you already have too many expenses as it is. Theres no way in hell you could pay for everything else, if your serious about moving out say goodbye to the Z.
