Should I move to a major city?

Move to the Suburbs

Though moving in with a roommate can make your expenses more manageable, you may wish to lower costs even more. Large cities are likely to have higher rental rates, so consider moving outside of the city a little bit to save on real estate costs. To save more money, consider finding a roommate in a suburban or even rural area close to the city. Fortunately in some states, you can find a lower cost roommate situation within a 15-minute commute to a major city.
