My rent is very low when compared to the average of $450, I am paying $225.Wow, that rent you mention Bretrick would get you a luxury apartment here where I am. You don't say but does your apartment fall into that category? If so, would you be comfortable scaling back to a cheaper apartment rather than sharing with someone?
It would be a bit of an upheaval and not knowing your circumstances as far as pension etc. but would an option be to move to another country more affordable. Many places on the globe you can live quite well on little.
My unit was built in the 60's so not palatial at all.
I will not be sharing with anyone. Tried that and failed.
The thing with sharing is that there are always the other persons friends as well to contend with. At one stage I walked out of my shared place and went to a hotel because my flat mate had a party with all his mates, alcohol and drugs. I was working and needed sleep so I went and found a quite hotel room.
Renting with others is rather difficult, as OneEyedDiva mentioned, finding the right person becomes problematical. Each having to deal with each other's foibles and friends.
Never will I leave Australia, my situation is okay at the moment though the future might become shaky.
