Hello!!
For this weeks topic, it’s more towards folks who have a roommate 🏘
So, let’s move on to our next situation for the week.

## Situation of the week 🗓
You live with a roommate who has a history of being unreliable with shared bills. Despite agreeing to split the utilities each month, they consistently pay late or short, leaving you to cover the gap and creating tension within the living situation.
You hesitate to confront them directly for fear of jeopardizing the friendly dynamic, but their financial irresponsibility impacts your own budget and peace of mind.

It’s best to make him aware of your condition and how his recklessness impact you and your financial conditions. If he or she doesn’t care then get someone else involved.
