How many of you guys are still living with roommates? Those who have in the past, what age did you finally get rid of them for good and live on your own? Is it worth it to pay more for an overpriced apartment and live alone, rather than cut costs & save but have to share a space?
What are your guys' thoughts on a 50 year old man living with roommates? This year we got paired randomly when my friend moved out last year.
This dude is quiet and doesn't bother me with me, but it's fvcking depressing as hell living with him. He'll stay in his room for days at a time meaning I never get the place to myself. I have literally never seen him smile or laugh once in 6 months of this arrangement. He works about 20 hours a week at a menial job. He can't work any more because he's not allowed to make more than $1,000 a month or he'll lose his disability. So he's also collecting disability while not being disabled...not physically anyway - he's on all kinds of anti-depressants, as well as being a functioning alcoholic and chain smoker.
This stuff really pi$$es me off. I don't know if there's anything worse than a man whose too weak to deal with the rough patches of life and opts to take the single mom route of collecting welfare while being able bodied. It gets to you because while I work FT, this guy is literally getting a free meal and yet is miserable. He really pi$$ed me off one day when I was making small talk and asked him if he was working that night. He goes "when don't I work?".. as if he was some workhorse experiencing burnout. Chill bro, you work 5 hours a day 3-4 days a week. Oh and he doesn't drive. Lost his license due to 3 DUIs. So his evening rituals consist of walking to the corner store to buy 1 beer at a time. There are never any groceries. I don't think the guy eats.
My family wonders why the little things bother me so much, but they do. I think it's b/c negative energy is contagious and I don't like losers. He's the picture of everything I don't want to be in 20+ years. Can't wait for this lease to be over. How many of you could live with this guy and not sweat the small stuff?
