Make Friends
Posted by Kate under: Kate .
So it turns out that I am staying in Chicago for the summer. This morning my roommates texted to tell me that the apartment that we looked at on Sunday will soon be ours. Ok fine, theirs. I won’t technically be signing the lease, nor will I technically be paying my fair share. But in my defense, I won’t really have my own room either.
This leads me to the little piece of wisdom that I hope you glean from this posting: Want to save money? Make friends. Friends that let you sleep on their floor, use their meal plan, and borrow their clothes. On this last point it is important to try to find friends that wear the same size as you.
I have also heard of friends who get you desk receptionist jobs, help with calculus, and lend you CDs.
Oh and here’s a good friend that offers all kinds of free financial resources.
