No, not since 1992.

wide stance posted:Roomates are worse than parents. Been free of both since 20 years young. You're not wrong; flatmates were an economic necessity for me through university but thereafter I swore I'd never again live with anyone unless in a relationship. (Now I happen to get along fine with my parents but I'm still glad we don't share a roof for more than the occasional holiday visit.)

Inzombiac posted:Moving the discussion along: Became a homeowner back in 2000 -- had a real job with a dependable income by then (actually since 1998 but I'd spent a little while saving up) and was getting sick of waiting for the real estate market to have its inevitable downturn (at the time prices had been rising for seven years; the downturn still has not come 16 years later). Was single at the time and bought an one-bedroom apartment within a short bicycle ride (or long walk) of my job. Lived there for five years before moving across the country to live with my now-wife; what I got when I sold the place was 70% more than I paid for it and I hadn't done poo poo to improve or even maintain it apart from painting the hallway a more cheerful colour. 11 years later I see similar apartments (in fact one that is identical to the one I had, same street, built exactly the same -- nicer inside, though) going for three times as much as what I paid in 2000. It's completely loving insane and young people today don't stand a chance unless they have help from their parents or something. (Or are able/willing to live somewhere rather less popular than close to a major city, I guess; rural prices aren't nearly as hosed up.)

I could probably tolerate living with mine, if I had to. But I'm still glad I don't have to.
