I moved house. Shifted to a two-bedroom flat and got myself a brand-new flatmate. Things look good. We have similar tastes and opinions, luckily. After the long phase of living alone, it's nice having someone to talk to and share things with. Of course it's a trade-off since privacy gets compromised...especially for a person like me that can be difficult.
But my room is huge, and the rent burden is much less now naturally. It's a third-floor walk-up so that took some getting used to...Lazy bum that I am!
Overall I'd say a good move.
