Living alone or with roommates?

Compare the real costs.

4 min read

Living alone has real benefits, and real costs. Comparing both helps you decide.

Compare

  • Rent and utilities, alone vs. split
  • Commute from each option
  • Furniture and household items you'd need to buy alone
  • Privacy, quiet and how you like to live

With roommates

Agree in writing how rent, bills and groceries are split, and what happens if someone moves out.
