I'm in the master bedroom with an attached bathroom.

Other two bedrooms share a wall, middle size bedroom has a bathroom attached too, smallest bedroom uses the hall bathroom as her own.

Obviously I should pay the most.

But before the rent was gonna be $3200 and we worked it to basically 988, 1070, and 1175 plus or minus a few cents.

We found out the rent was $200 cheaper so at first we were all "great that's $70 less each"

But I did the math and that's more than $3,000.

Help yo

I would be heated if I paid the same as the girl in the master bedroom and I was sharing a wall with my other roomate

i've always just split it equally no matter the room size.

but if your room is that much bigger than the rest you can split it up by square footage and pay that way.

It is a little bigger but other 2 roomates share a wall and one doesn't have a bathro attached which is why I am not even gonna bring up the equal split lol

I sure wouldn't go for it lol

#quickmath

n/m

Having homegirl go from 988 to 975 doesn't make sense lol

>Having homegirl go from 988 to 975 doesn't make sense lol

n/m

should split the drop evenly I guess
-66 apiece

And split the common areas by 3

So if the sq ft rent is say $10 per, multiply by your larger room and bathroom, they do the same for their individual bedrooms, sit their bath in two and y'all sit the general areas by 3

Add it up...voila


does it really matter?

wonder what bin's doing?

That's $198. Then you can haggle over those last $2

Paying the rental company $35 extra a month isn't really a big deal I juat figured hey they didn't want to do it.

that's crazy talk they doing up there.

He did to get he numbers before

I assume it's similar to what the person in this thread did to break the numbers down

Like each share is around 30%, with mine being the most

said every snarky okp response ever.



Totally joking fyi

Original:


$988
$1070
$1175

Equals $3233

So (Approximates Below)

$988 = 31% of $3233
$1070 = 33% of $3233
$1175 = 36% of $3233

Just multiply those percentages times the new rent of $3000 to get everyone's NEW share.

$930
$990
$1080

There you go.

it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.

not compassionate....only polite.

I am not like you at all and i cannot pretend.

The roommate said we should recalculate using the methodology and then figure the split.

That's fair.

Again I never thought it would be totally equal since I have the master bedroom

$3K a month out here will rent a 3000+ sq/ft HOUSE with a pool and would pay your monthly utilities with plenty of change to spare.

I'm sitting here like, why do you have roommates when you can afford a grand per month for rent?

I always shake my head when people pay 1K or more and aren't caking up in a big city.

Fuck that.

I'm such a solitary person that even reading your subject line made my skin itch. lol.

not everyone is making money like you

not everyone is content living where you live

And if you do you'll probably make too much money do to wage requirements.

Me and my fiancé share a place in a nice area. Two bedrooms, one bath, plus a parking spot and we pay around 1100 a piece. Additionally the two months they gave us rent free.

So that's less than either of us were paying solo.

I'm getting career fast tracked, she's able to expand her work.

So those things that may take a decade elsewhere are happening in a small set of years for us.

>And if you do you'll probably make too much money do to wage
>requirements.

This is a very foreign concept to me. There hasn't been a single place I've lived in that had such an absurd requirement.

You can't live here because you can REALLY afford it??? FOH.

There were some apartments that I really liked. But if you made more than 35k you couldn't live there.
I imagine people find ways to get around this and that also these properties get government subsidies in some form.

I thought the wage ceiling was oppressively low, but that's on me, and I'm not gonna be one to complain about making "too much money".

I can't wrap my head around wanting to live somewhere that damned expensive.

I can think of a few cities across the US where $1000 a month would net you a 3 bedroom apartment in a decent part of town.

And how much is your career subject to the whims of your current company in Scottsdale would be my retort.

there are IT jobs all across the country. Being in my profession I get hit up for jobs/contracts everywhere imaginable so working in Scottsdale is not abnormal in the least bit.

As for who would I date? Someone from the surrounding area. There's a shitload of transplants in metro Phoenix along with locals of many races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. The chances of finding someone suitable to date out there is definitely stacked in your favor.

I'd say in some respects unparalleled for most professionals.
For the arts, NY is probably where it's at; for tech the West Coast.
But for lawyers, contractors, politics (obviously), government, military ... etc career building (which includes but not limited to establishing a high salary floor, networking, building government rank) DC is nearly untouchable.
I probably won't stay here too long, but for this phase in life, for a lot of professionals; it's hard to top DC

but if a person is spinning wheels are just floating in the wind??? nah, couldn't do it.

Too damn expensive and not really that "cool".
There's more affordable and better options for recreational living near by ish.
Baltimore, Richmond, parts of Delaware, Philly ... all seem much cooler for personal life than here.

That said, I met a great woman, enjoyed solid women, have made good friends and associates, and jump started my career.

Another place in life, I wouldn't spend here.

you feel like you should pay more because they share a wall and you have the bigger bedroom? How did you wind up getting the master bedroom?

if y'all don't split that shit evenly! Your guest cannot use the "public" bathroom have them use YOUR bathroom and so on.

she wound up with the big bedroom?!?!?

Girl that out the ad together originally saw the apt and wanted the middle priced room

She advertised the least expensive room and it got snapped up instantly

My room I guess they tried a few diff people for and it worked when I met her and I mey the other roommate during the walk through.

Edit: $1102, $1003, $895 if you want to be technical.

Edit edit: this was calculated under the assumption that the original rent was exactly $3200.

Now i am wondering if I am dumb for paying $100 more than the middle bedroom (she pays $100 more roughly than the smallest

15 x 11'4

12'11 x 11

10'11 x 11



What yall think?

worth the money?

$100 a month for a little bit more walking around room? NOPE!!

We're paying equal shares. At the most, maybe $25 more for the attached bathroom

This is crazy to me on a few levels. That doesn't include utilities or food, right? The amenities this environment provides have to be worth the rent cost.

Everything is hella expensive

This place had a gym and a pool and is near a metro so even if I'm payin more than my roommates in the end it might be worth it for peace of mind's sake ya dig

but...you also make more in those markets so...there is that

Maybe in SF, but I don't think so in NYC and LA. A lot of people make middle-America ass wages in these expensive cities.

but like you said there are tons of poor ppl in all of those cities
SF has the most homeless ppl i've ever seen in my life and parts of the mission look like north philly
and it's estimated that nearly half of NYC is living at a relative poverty level

does it really matter?

wonder what bin's doing?
