Might be my last hurrah, but I'm gonna go down with a bang if I can.

And yeah, I was just going to split the costs (not including the mortgage) with someone, which would have meant me spending (with the mortgage) about $1700 a month.

This way, even if one of them flakes (and they have lived together for years with no problems), it would only be 1/4th of the cost that I would lose out on and have to pay.

Basically 1 flake would still be less total cost then if I just rented to one person and split everything.

Each is going to contribute 500$ a month along with 1/4th of the utilities.

That drops my 2300$ (including mortgage) + 1/2 utitlities, down to me only paying $800 a month and 1/4th utilities (which will be around $400 a month or so).

Since I only want to sub teach for the near future at least, and the salary for that can be pathetic, it's really a great setup. I can make $1k a month standing on my head and never leaving my house if I wanted (I'm sure i'd get a headache if I only did it while standing on my head though).

Btw, I wrote up a roomate contract and called it The Sheldon Agreement hehe. I did put (just kidding) in front of it though.

And yeah, I'm almost 50, i'm not dead yet, but the last 7 years aged me a ton, mentally and physically. I might be able to come back from it, and I've been working on it, but it's not going to be a fast recovery. Also every family member (my mother/grandmother/brother etc) have all died before 50 (of a heart attack) and I take enough pills for 2 elephants to keep mine down. My days are probably numbered, so I want to enjoy the ones I have left as much as possible.

Will these guys end up being my friends? No clue, but they are friends already, they play MtG and board games etc, love video games (one has a large CRTV and has light gun games...but hasn't played Elemental Gearbolt...the best one...yet). Another loves table tennis and works in a shop that can build things (says he can build a table no problem).

Also, I am.....the god of mediation......basically best roomate ever kinda guy. I get along with everyone pretty much and help resolve conflicts peacefully between others (I'm also quite large and trained in martial arts so I can prevent people from hurting each other/me without having to hurt them....you would be amazed how important that can be with roomates (or at least was 20 years ago).

So yeah, no clue if we will be great friends, but they are all responsible, have lived together with each other for awhile so are used to having roomates, they are not super young (late 20's early 30's probably but you can't always tell anymore, they could be older). Good roomate choices with the added perk of being radioactive resistant...oh wait...I mean gamers yeah:)
