Roommates....

So I did the math and after taxes, on average I bring in enough money to maintain my savings. I'll be able to save at least 1200 monthly if I live alone. However if I get roommates That'll go up to almost 1600-1800 depending on the situation

Have you ever had roommates?
I believe that living with roommates is an invaluable experience, and the savings are just awesome. It's nice to have people to talk to and hang out with without having to go anywhere. If you have good roommates, they will respect you and won't bother you while you are working. You have your room, so you could just shut yourself away whenever you need to get things done.
Plus, living alone is kind of depressing. You have to do all the housework by yourself and there's no one there to watch out for you. I've never lived by myself for an extended time, but I have had a house to myself for about a month before. I wanted to go out with friends all the time because I was pretty bored. I also know people who do live in their own apartments and they often wish they could find a roommate.
Just my two cents.

No I haven't and thats why I want to give it a try. I lived alone once and it was kind of depressing but I was okay because I got lots done. I'm edging closer to either taking my friends roommates or moving in with him.
