      Is this a common sentiment? I had roommates until I was 27 and to me it was the normal way for young, single people to live. I never thought of my roommates as a burden or considered living without them a high priority. Even when I could have gotten my own studio apartment, I preferred to split a much nicer apartment with a couple other people.

        That’s a valid tradeoff so long as that crappy studio is actually affordable. When even the studio is north of $2k/month, though…
