My rent costs me an arm and a leg. Well, it costs me and arm and my parents a leg (they alternate legs each month).
And now that graduation is setting in and my prospects are taking me to New York City, my rent will likely double. So to offset that cost, I've decided to rent my bathroom 3 days a week -- OK kidding, kind of.
Recent trends show that renters and homeowners are increasingly renting space: apartments, rooms, refrigerators, etc. to help them stay afloat. Postings for roommates on Craigslist have increased 60 percent in the last year.
Instead of recalling how many Unsolved Mysteries episodes I have seen that warn, "DO NOT DO THIS!" I say: Share Love/Bathroom and Save Some Money.
