I recently moved to my current place back in April, but now I'm moving out again this weekend, mainly due to my roommate situation. Basically it came down to me paying all the bills and for food, gas, etc and it was really upsetting me because he didn't have a steady job and sat around all summer doing nothing.
I finally had it and talked to my mom who is offering me a brand new place that she'd be paying for and would pay for bills, food etc, so the deal was really hard for me to pass up. After a lot of thought and irritations at my job being the final straw, I accepted the offer and will be leaving.
Now, I've thought about it, and I know it isn't fair for my roommate because it's rather short notice, but I'm tired of living pay check to pay check. He is trying to get me to stay, but I don't think I can do it. I think I need some serious alone time, heh.
What I will be doing is giving him my couch and table set because I won't be needing it. Mind you, they're leather so they're at least worth something. I will be taking the HDTV however, even though we did go in together on it. I think it's a fair trade for that I've done for the guy and he won't be able to use it for anything since I own the game consoles.
Is that fair? Am I being fair to him? I've been friends with this guy for 9 years now and lately it's been intolerable for me. Originally I wasn't even going to go through with this, but now I think I have to for my own sanity.
