  • I definitely think the stigma has lightened up in the last 5 or so years with wages and rent being what they are, but I definitely would advise young people to try to have their own place if they can swing it, even if that means having roommates. It’s a big, necessary step in life and I think it’s good for young people to taste that freedom well before having to worry about marriage, kids, whatever else usually comes for people soon after. There’s no shame in not doing that if you can’t/don’t want to, but my relationship with my parents became infinitely better once I wasn’t living under their roof anymore and I don’t regret dealing with roommates in exchange for being able to call my own shots.
