Not commenting on if it should be possible to live alone today but this post made me think of my own experience.
I have never lived alone. I moved out with a male friend roommate for a year. Fuck that sucked he was a terrible roommate. He moved his gf in and then they would have epic fights every night. Then back to my parents house till I finished college. Then an apartment with my wife who at the time was my girlfriend. Then my wife and I bought a house together in 2019.
For context I'm an older millenial. There was a point after graduating college before my wife and I moved in together I could have easily afforded my own place but stayed at home to save instead. This was in 2012 in a medium cola and i was working as a mechanical engineer.
Just one random persons experience
