DO NOT LIVE WITH A BEST FRIEND!!!
I lived with two best friend and each time it turned out horribly wrong. Our friendships are over. At first I thought it was me because it happened twice, but then I realized it was just that the two "friends" had the same shitty habits. Neither of them know how to clean properly and both are spoiled self-centered brats that can't stand not having their way. If I tried to talk maturely and work things out, both of them would be extremely hostile, defensive, and immature. The first situation I lived with the girl for 3 and a half years before it got really bad...However, now I'm in a new apartment with a new roommate and it has only taken 6 months for us to hate each other...just as some of these previous posts have stated. After making the same mistake twice, I have finally learned that a roommate is seriously NOT worth saving the money. I would rather be broke and alone (and happy!!) than saving a little bit of money and being annoyed and miserable each day. If you really can't live alone, then you need to live with someone that is JUST a roommate...no friendship ties whatsoever. And make sure you discuss beforehand what is important to you both. With a friend, it seems like many living situation things can "go without saying" but the you discover the true nature of the person and it is NOT pretty. STAY AWAY FROM LIVING WITH FRIENDSSSS
