As someone who can't live with roommates, this thread rocks. Thanks for plugging!

That thread is a train wreck. Will your partner be relocating with you, and if so, will your partner be working? Living is easier if you can rent a one bedroom apartment with two incomes.

Definitely. He'd be making a little less than me since he'd be going back to college---so either financial aid stipend or a part-time job---but we would be double-income.

The thread is a bit of a train-wreck but it confirmed some of my thoughts that I'll probably get by being satisfied with less---some people want a lot of extra disposable income but for me who doesn't drink or go out and prefers the free things the city has to offer (parks, museums, etc.) I think I'll be alright at least for a couple of years or until I go to grad school
