If you’re a Boston renter looking to save money, you’re probably interested in finding an apartment with roommates. Not only will the monthly rent per tenant be lower, so will all the other bills. Splitting the rent and other expenses with a group of people, will allow you to put more money towards your financial goals every month. Even if you would prefer to live alone, you simply can’t deny the financial benefits of sharing an apartment.
The financial benefits tend to be larger the more roommates you have. Let’s say the cable/Internet bill is $250 per month for the whole household. If you split that with five roommates, it will only cost you $50 each. If you only live with one other person, that same bill would cost you $125 per month. The savings tend to add up quickly when you have four other people to split expenses with. That’s an additional $75+/ month that you could put towards other debt, an emergency fund, or the vacation you’ve always wanted. At the end of the year, that adds up to $900 in savings from your internet bill alone!
Now that you’re warming up to the idea of living with four roommates, it’s time to start the search. Keep in mind, on top of saving money, you might even get a newer, larger apartment when 5 of you pool your monthly rent budgets! Here are five (5) must see five-bedroom apartments in Boston.
