[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in the same boat. She’s 23 and after saving her money wanted to move out. We’re in Montgomery County and she couldn’t find anything for less than $1500 a month. The $1500 was only because she qualified for moderately priced housing due to her income, yet her income meant $1500 was too expensive. She recognizes she needs to leave money for utilities, groceries, insurance, gas, etc. [b]I don’t know how young adults afford anything without a partner or roommate.[/b] She was unfortunately not able to find a friend who wanted to live in the same area.

While I agree that housing prices and rental prices are a huge problem in this country, the bolded has ALWAYS been true. I only knew two people in my whole 20s who had their own place, and they were both considered by everyone else to be burning money. Everyone else had roommates. You don't need a friend - you find people... however kids find people these days (in my day it was Craigslist, I'm sure it's something else now).

It's completely absurd to expect to be able to live alone at 23. [/quote]
