"Why do so many people live alone?" I think the question should be "Why do so many people have roommates?" I understand that mostly it's a financial need to have support on the rent or the mortgage, but when it was up to your choice without the financial aspect, would you still have a roommate?

I'm a 30 year old female who lives in a metropolis city and I've lived alone for 6 years. The only way I'd live with someone else again is if there is a ring on my finger. And even then, hopefully I could afford to buy a duplex home so we could still be neighbors and have sleepovers, but not have to actually live together. I know I know... that's absurd. But a girl can dream right?

When I leave, the apartment is how I want it to be. When I come home the apartment is how I left it. I don't have to go looking for my things. Nothing is missing unless I was scatterbrained myself and left it somewhere. If I want to be around people, I call my friends. I think my relationships are stronger because I have to make that extra effort to be around those that I love. Living alone is perfect because you never HAVE to hang out with someone. When I want to be quiet and alone, I have that option right at home. Three cheers to living alone.
