Boarding houses worth it?
Hey guys,
I'm a working professional living at home with my parents and I think its time I moved out. I make about 900 a week and I don't want to flat, but if I want to rent a studio with car parking (I need it cause I cant rely on public transport due to shift work) it'd be too expensive like close to $600 per week. I've had a look at ensuite boarding rooms as well where you share a kitchen but have a room and bathroom to yourself, with bills included which seems a bit better. The quality seems to vary on those types of properties and I don't want to be paying $380 a week to stay at some hole in a wall, but I've also seen some properties that look good too.
I wanted to know if anyone has stayed in a boarding home long term and what it was like and has it been generally worth it?
If not where do you guys rent? I'm really just looking for a place of my own in Auckland and I don't want to compromise by flatting but maybe it'll be better than staying with the parents. I don't know. Any advise would be appreciated
