So, who do you live with?

If you live with family and a significant other, mark off the one who pays for the rent.

Room mates that were old friends from school, none of em can ever pay any rent. Mad

You should get them to start doing drug trials to pay it off.

should those under 18 vote?

What I should do is harvest their organs for beer money.

I had 4 other roommates, but there was a falling out at our Halloween party and there are now 3 of us left. Not a big deal though, since there are only supposed to be 3 to begin with.

I'll probably be living with roommates for the next 10 years, sadly enough, if I live that long. I don't want to live alone, I'm not living with family, and I doubt I'm going to be able to find a "significant" other to live with.

Yes.

Everyone should vote.

This isn't the fucking presidential election, it is a Sydlexia.com forum poll.

i lived with a friend at his place for a year until i could afford a house. i've heard you shouldn't move in with a best friend, but i can't say i had any problems with it.

It makes sense since you are only 13.

I live with my uncle and and some other guy who is 36. We live in a three floor house and we each get our own floor. Sometimes we don't see each other for days though. My uncle has the top floor, I have the ground floor and the other guy has the basement.

Most people mistake my uncle as my brother as he often acts a lot younger than me and looks like he is in his mid twenties even though he is 41. He was always the "cool" uncle when I was a kid and after moving to California in 5th grade I didn't talk to him for almost 13 years.

We have tons of fun and my current living situation has worked out much better than some of my previous ones. I have lived in a couple pretty crappy ones. One thing I have learned is never move in with your best friend, usually it never works out.

Edit: Also, I voted roommates even though I live with family. It's much more of a room mate situation than a family one.

13 years after you came out of your mother's vag. Sometimes they throw parties for this.

Ask your mom, not us.

I meant that I'm not 13.

I had such a good time at my Bar Mitzvah.

The ceremony and party were both kick ass.

I'm just saying, I'm not 13.

i had my own house w/my own roommates. and then we all had a falling out of sorts and lost the house.

now i live w/my brother and his family. its really mostly his house, but i help w/whatever bills he tells me to help with.

im the stereotypical single drunk uncle that lives in the back room. somehow, all the kids love hanging out in my room.

EDIT: after reading that last sentence, it made me sound like chester the molester. the kids love my room because it has the PC w/WoW on it (i dont play, my nephew does) and it also has the Wii and my other nephew plays on it. and my niece just loves to bug me.

By myself in my empty, lonely townhome. Razz

With my mom, her significant other (because saying "her boyfriend" sounds creepy), my brother, and my girlfriend. Hopefully this situation is only for another year, at which point I will be able to purchase an empty, lonely townhome without having to put my eternal soul up as collateral.

We have a unique sort of arrangement. I don't pay rent, but I'm the go-to guy when a big chunk of cash is needed right away. When the washing machine breaks, I go buy a new one. When National Grid hits us with some bullshit, padded, $900 heat/electric bill, I go pay it. When the dog needs cancer removed from his ass, I pay for the operation. In the end, it works out to be a pretty good deal for everyone involved.

I live with 2 roommates I met in college.

I live with my mom (her "significant other" is moving in soon) and my sis.

I plan to move out before the end of next year, though, whether it's by myself or with a friend

Posted: Nov 07 2008 10:41 pm

I have to live with my mom, I'm only 16.

Posted: Nov 08 2008 02:11 am

I live with my folks until I finish university, which might be another four and a half years. Then I might join you guys down in the good ol' U.S. of A. (namely Seattle).

And username, the best part of my childhood was when my aunt (who's only 12 years older) lived with us. She was like a totally awesome aunt/babysitter/big sister.

Of the 6 voters looks like I'll be the first to reply this way.

I live alone, have for a little over a year. Going back to college will definitely change that, if only for proximity to so many other people.
