It's easier and way cheaper to rent a room in a house somewhere if you're looking to save money since the rental market looks miserable right now.

Plus, having roommates can be great.

It can be great or terrible. Roommate roulette!

I find it easier if you have multiple roommates. Makes the conflicts less concentrated.

When I was 22 I lived in a curtained off corner of an attic in a house with 13 other people. It was so, so fun. I thought to myself, I could live this way forever! Why do older people get scammed into believing that they need to spend all their money on living alone?! I'm old now. I'll live with a partner or live alone. I'm done with room mates.

13 people is a bit too much. I was thinking like 3. Above that, it gets too messy.

Yeah, some years back I got nostalgic about it and was watching New Girl and decided to get a room mate. Nope. Nopity nope nope nope.
