How can i live frugally with a roommate that spend lavishly
Except for expenses that are sometimes shared (like electricity bills and other utilities), I’d recommend that you keep your expenses as separate as possible. That way, your roommate’s lavish lifestyle does not exactly affect you – except the peer pressure part. In that case, you’d need discipline.
This article was a bit helpful though, at least I read some stories similar to my experience. I’m a 400lvl medical student of unn trying to save money for things I know my parents won’t get for me, But here is the thing, we’re comfortable to an extent financially but I don’t get monthly allowances. They just send me money when ever they feel like could be once in 2 months (usually 40k for 2 months)or once in a month or they just give me cash when I’m going back to school. The bottom line is, considering the state of this country these allowances are barely enough for me to be able to save. And I don’t even eat out anymore. I try to cook or maybe just starve (lol) but either way. I just want to know if there is anyone in this same situation and how you went about it or anyone that could help Map out a plan on how to go about saving plus any suggestions on a job I could take on as a medical student considering how stressful and demanding my course is.
T for Thanks ?
