Yesterday I wrote that we might help new roommate out by letting his spare friend stay here for a couple of months - well we met him tonight and we're a go. The guy seems pretty decent, just down on his luck - girlfriend kicked him out.
We chatted for quite a while, then did a tour and talked about money. We said that in the interest of being fair to new roommate and because we don't know either one of them - we would be willing to make the same arrangement. $500/rent $500 deposit - up front and then 1/4 of utilities. He said it was manageable - and it's only for two months.
but hey - that's an extra $1,000
now we could get silly and make plans for that money - but instead, we're being smart. Jordan and i are going to leave the extra money in our joint chequing account as a joint emergency fund of sorts. The next time a roommate leaves (and we don't expect it) - we won't have to worry. The money will already be in place.
wow. that wasn't even a goal.

ReplyDeletethanks! I feel like it's a really good decision. It will have us both worrying less.
I think that's a good plan - the extra money will be good, and it's only for a short while.
