Just because you're a bachelor (or bachelorette), you don't need to make excuses for your lifestyle. You know that you're too busy studying, working part-time, or watching necessary reality television programs to be able to properly maintain an unreal cleaning standard.

And that's okay. But if you think that your apartment, basement suite,  or dorm room is getting a little too out-of-control, then maybe a few bachelor tips can help you make an adjustment, and make your living space just a tiny bit more tolerable to you, your roommate, and your friends.

Dear Barry:

I'm broke and my place is always a mess. What's the easy answer?

Dear Poor,

Dude, there's an easy way to kill two birds with one stone. Did you ever see The Odd Couple? The key is to get yourself an obsessive neat-freak roommate without any wheels. This way, (if you have a car), you can swap out rides in exchange for chores. The bonus is that the guy might even shell out for gas, if he's got rich parents paying his way through school.
