[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why people think that living with roommates is immature. I think it’s financially savvy. DH could have afforded a 1br, but he saved a ton of cash instead that we were able to use as a down payment on a  lovely house. I also lived with roommates, and was able to put a ton towards retirement. If we’d both lived alone, we’d be in a much worse place, financially.

The most immature person I know felt entitled to live in a studio in NYC on $30,000 a year. Then she complained constantly about finances. I felt really embarrassed for her. [/quote]

My DH continued living with roommates for an additional 2-3yrs even when he could’ve easily afforded his own place. We were dating for much of that time and I also lived with a roommate though could’ve afforded a studio or similar. We were able to save a lot of $ and were happy where we were (both living in cheap places with college and grad school friends). Everyone had their own bedrooms. It was mostly fun. Eventually we moved in together (into our own place), bought first home soon after. [/quote]
