I currently live with my parents. If I moved to a part of the country with lower cost of living (which I could feasibly do since I have a remote job) I could definitely afford to rent an apartment or even buy a condo by myself, but I know from previous experience that I don’t enjoy living alone and would probably get depressed.
That’s understandable, especially if you’re looking to befriend them.
Me personally? I’d only be into doing that with a friend I’m already super chill with or a lover*. I already know a few friends who would be more chill to hang with than I would be hanging with by myself.
*We’d just be roommates, though, I swear!
