Spending More Than You Need To on Rent

If you haven’t bought a house of your own yet and are still renting, you could save thousands of dollars by getting a roommate. Most people avoid doing this as soon as they’re able to financially. Certainly, having a roommate might feel like you’re losing a little bit of your independence, but you’ll certainly gain more for your retirement by doing so.

Sacrificing a few years by living in a house (or an apartment) with another person is well worth the effort. Just think what cutting your rent and utility bills in half could mean for all your savings accounts.
