Moved out when I was 18 to go to college, moved back to my fams house when I was 25 because all my roommates moved out of NJ. Found new roommates the next year, met girlfriend, moved in with girlfriend at 27. Married girlfriend at 32, bought house at 34. I'm 34 now, income 130k a year. Started at $35k a year out of college.
Owning home with wife is best in terms of life enjoyment. Second best was renting with wife followed by living with good roommates.

what line of work are you in? Yeah I commuted locally to school, missed out a little on rooming with friends maybe maybe later in the future.

I'm an urban planner. I should have added that I got my masters in my late 20s.

Just wanted to add that you shouldn't necessarily be against living with rando roommates (as long as they're cool and roughly your age). They can turn out to be great friends in the long run. My whole current friend group comes from the roommates I lived with when I was 26 and 27.
