Are you kidding........not a hope in hell. Never, no matter how poor I was. I've always lived by myself and only recently had my fiancee (wife to be next week) move in with me and I'm finding it had to cope. Even simple things get to me, like I always put a teaspoon away after making a coffee where as she will leave it dirty in the sink. And the list goes on........but I must learn to compromise with her. Anyone else, no way. I'll never live with a roommate.
You only wait till your future wife moves in!
Nope, I can't do roommates. A few single women I know who bought houses fairly recently got roommates in order to free some funds. To me it's not worth having a house this way. If I can't afford a house alone, I'd rather be alone even in a studio!
Oh if I lived with someone I could do trust me there would be no problem. The problem is when you can't do them then they become difficult to live with.

I find this amusing. People who cannot share living quarters, yet are getting married soon! Good luck!
I have news for many, especially the younger set. The economy has gone into the tank and more and more, the choice will be a room-mate (or several) or live at home. During the last serious recession, the fact that I rented a large house with 4 other guys made the difference between saving for the future (and eventually owning my own house) and probably not even getting by.
It was also a good experience. Nearly always, I was able to find responsible people to share with and when I had problems, it was a useful experience in dealing with life's problems. It actually involved doing a lot less work, too. Imagine having to only cook a meal and wash the dishes, once a week. (Sunday to Thursday) I had more time to study, when I could come home to a meal 3 or 4 nights a week and the financial pressure was far less.
I wonder about the spoiled, only children, of today. They cannot seem to share and co-operate with others. I suspect they are headed for a rapid divorce, if they cannot even make a beneficial, short term relationship work.
Well I do have very large walk in closets for him and his photography buddies.
He told me he'll bring his light saber

Can/Could you live with a Roommate?
