Rent: Alone in apartment or house with friends

Live alone, especially if you never have before. Critical step to becoming your own man.

Last year I lived in a house with 7 people. Party pad. Infinite drama. Threw some good parties, but I am literally not on speaking terms with any of those people save 1. One chick ran over my dog, after letting him out of his cage without my permission. Another failed to pay rent. Another constantly stole food. Disrespect of people's working/sleep schedules. The list goes on.

In short? Whatever social benefits you get from living with people are better off developed by NOT living with people. Contrast with my living alone experience. Suddenly I have to own my shit. Nothing happens unless I make it happen. I can lay around all day being a useless sack of shit, or nut up and go live my life. That is a burden in and of itself but one that has profoundly improved my sense of self worth, confidence, and direction in life.

ive done both. option 2 in my early twenties led to much more parties and shit, but it was also more inconvenient in lots of ways. sometimes i just wasnt trying to have a fuckin party, you know? plus tons of bullshit like who is splitting what bills, whos groceries are whos, sharing the bathrooms, whos gonna do what chore and when, some niggas just let dishes pile up in the sink because they are legally retarded, someone elses dog loves shitting in the house, blah blah blah. personally i love living alone.

Option 2 because you can always move into your own place. Getting good roommates gets harder and harder as you get older. Stash some of the extra dough in your 401k and/or high yield savings account. If they end up sucking and have no other viable options, then move into your own place.

Live alone. Good sleep. Learn to be accountable for the stuff in your house/apt. Don't have to deal with others bullshit. Do whatever you want whenever you want.

both options have their benefits in one way of another. saving money and social plus on one side, and privacy and total independance (all decisons are your own) on the other.

for me, after college, i had enough with housemates. as you get older, you tend to start needing your space more and more. early twenties is still ok to share. if you think the savings warrants the housemates, and you are good with that, do it for a while, and put that savings away or into some investments. if not, enjoy your new bachelor pad. if you go with the housemate decision, you can always revisit the choice each year, or half year (or whatever, depending on the lease).

I don't have any experience. I'm 23 and still live at home, but I would rather live with a small group offriends, but only if they had some red pill awareness.

I feel like living alone can make you feel a little anti-social and maybe even increase your chances of depression. It probably depends on what kind of person you are and if you can handle the loneliness. I'm thinking long term here. I'm sure the first few weeks will be awesome cause you get to rock out with your cock out, but for me personally, the loneliness would creep in.

if you do decide to live with friends, they need to be really really good friends and you need to know how they live and know that it will be perfectly fine with the way you live your life e.g. you're a respectful neat freak and so are they.
