I’m currently in a fairly unique position, where I find that I do not really have somewhere to live.
For several months now, I’ve been residing in the spare kitchen of my friends house.
Obviously, this situation can’t last forever. They have their own lives, and I have been impeding on their dwelling for too long already. As such, I am currently on the market to purchase my own home, if I can find one that I can afford. Alternatively, I would transfer into an home with roommates. In either of these scenarios, the most crucial thing is finding roommates that share similar outlooks on residing styles and energy expenditure. In the past, I have lived with people who felt unquestionably differently about their energy costs and usage of our heating and cooling systems. In these situations, I’ve tried to cohabitate with people who did not have the same financial goals as myself. They had no problem cranking the boiler and air conditioning units up and down all afternoon long. It did not bother them to have continual Heating and A/C emergency repair appointments in the middle of the night. It was no bother when my good friend and I needed to have the proprietor fully substitute our failing boiler in the dead of winter. Most of all, it did not bother them to kiss their hard-earned dollars goodbye every time the electricity bill showed up in the mail. I will never live with such opposing opinions again, I will never spend all my cash on unnecessary utility bills, and I know without a doubt that in this home search, my Heating and A/C comes before all.
