Roommates. First off, let me say that I haven't had a roommate since

I lived in a college dorm during the Jurassic Era.

And fortunately I'm in a financial position that I don't have to have one now.

But one thing I wonder about--if you get one and s/he is always coming up with excuses when it's time to pay the rent.

Your experiences?

1. Get first, last and security out of 'em before they move in.

That gives you two months and change to maneuver.

I had roommates during that same Jurrasic era, but I was lucky in that they were always financially responsible types.

I suppose the best advice is to room with a cheap basstid with a savings account; not the person who is always flashing their cash and buying the latest this, that and the other thing on credit....
