Need some input on what to do here. My lease is coming up for renewal in the next couple of months and I currently live about 15-20 minutes from downtown in a 1br place in a decent apartment complex. Obviously, moving downtown would improve my logistics for day game and weekend game but my cash flow isn't such that I can swing a 1br in the best parts of the city without crippling my social budget. I'll be 30 this summer and after living alone for the past 7 months, I thought I was done with roommates, but having one would be the best way for me to move to a better complex in a more lively area of the city without killing my budget. The only issue with getting a roommate is that it would have to be a random, most likely from Craigslist.
What would you guys do in my situation? Find a random roommate to move downtown with or stick it out at a 1br in the burbs for another 6 to 9 months?
