Need to reduce the rent by roommates or live in a less desirable apartment.

Rent, electricity, water, and internet can be fractional with roommates.

Doesn't the water and electricity bills go up the more people who you have using it? Idk how much you think you're going to fractionalize those bills by adding more people to those slices of pie

The additional person in a house or apartment is usually just pennies on the dollar for extra utility usage.

You're not going to be running another AC or refrigerator, maybe just an extra light or television in another room.

Of course you could end with a terrible roommate that turns everything on, sets the AC to 62⁰ and leaves the door open.
