  • I wouldn’t do that. It sounds like a full time job, of which I assume you already have. To me it would feel weird, like a power imbalance.

    What happens when you don’t have time or energy to complete your tasks. Will he kick you out? Is your name on the lease?

    Organising clothes and belongings is something I’d only do for family.

    But, you know your roommate best, so do what you feel is right.

    Maybe you can do a one month trial run?



  • Here in Japan, travel agents are still around. The brick and mortar ones have actually branched out to offer their services online, too.

    I assume they mostly survive on people who want to book a package tour, which are insanely popular here.

    Some of them will now charge a consultation fee whether you buy something or not, so you can see how the industry is hurting.

    Although I’m not a boomer, I did use one last year as they are great for just showing you all the options in a very clear way. With just an hour to spare to book a family trip, it was the way to go (for me at least).

    I do think that next time I will use them to consult, but then book online to avoid their fee. Also, it seems that booking though the agent makes the ticket less flexible (the airline will lock out some parts of their website and tell you to have the agent do the thing which you wanted to)

    So, yeah, it’ll be just like shopping. Go to the store to look and get info, then buy online to save money.
