Current Events > Looks like I need to room share to save costs on rent. Tips?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The last time I room shared with anyone was with a group of neo-hipsters that did nothing but smoke weed and burn sage. They were great for the most part, except for bringing random strangers into the home like it was some type of communion; a gathering of like minded spiritual individuals that mooched off of our toilet paper and perishable foods. Other than that minor encumbrance, I felt safe for the most part. They didn't bring in drama, or pick fights with each other. As long as I paid my rent and minded my own business, people were friendly with me.

This was 10 years ago though. I'm sure the world has drastically changed and those same neo-hipster types have been replaced with another trending subculture. What should I expect if I decide to move to California or Texas to room share? What are some red flags I need to look out for when looking for a place to rent? Room sharing would cut my rent expense by 60%. I need this.

What is the difference between a neo-hipster and a regular hipster? Do they wear sunglasses like the guy in the Matrix?

Eyyyyyy, nice job TC

probably better off in Cali than in Texas tbh

Thank you. You were right. It's either I sleep in a car or decide to room share.

I'm going to choose the latter.

neo-hipsters focus more on crystals and "spirituality"
