“Many people are afraid of living with the nightmare housemate,” says author, Annamarie Pluhar. “My book helps them realize that they can follow my proven six-step process and find a housemate with whom they are compatible. People who share housing save thousands of dollars a year, have company, get the kind of help those who live in families take for granted, and get the satisfaction of knowing that they are living sustainably.”
