sounds like your roommie fits right in the PB scene. You didn't have any idea what you were getting into? You've barely been here, doesn't seem like this should come as a surprise or shocker. Maybe he's just in party mode now for the summer and things we'll be a bit more even once he has to buckle down and figure out some income. 20K won't go so far.
You saving up for a house? Good luck man. I've been saving for over 5 years now. Have a solid 150K to slap down when the time comes, another 100K if I wanna tap into some 401k funds, but there's no way I'm putting my nest egg into inflated san diego housing.
Nah, I've known for a while how he is. That's actually why I decided to room with him over a year ago, wanted to challenge myself to deal with it in a mature manner.
Like I said, it doesn't bother me (other than the occassional "dude, clean your fucking dishes!"). I'm just pointing it out.
We'll see about the house. I can't do rent anymore, it's throwing $ down the toilet.
Sounds like a destructive atmoshere. I for sure couldn't deal with the uncleanliness. Two weeks without cleaning is slacking for me, and I don't even get anything dirty.
I tried to develop him, and it's shown a bit. But I just don't have the energy for that. He's still young, I just grew out of my "college" phase a lot earlier than most of my peers. He'll come around.
