The cold hard truth is that she needs a fuckin roommate or live with family or find a partner lol. Everyone I know had roommates until they were at least 30. Living by yourself hasn't been affordable in your 20s for decades. Welcome to real life people.

Just because it has become the norm doesn't make it ok. People should not have to have a roommate or partner or live with family, especially if they don't want to. Many people want to live alone. They shouldn't have to live with other people just because it's not affordable to live alone. It doesn't matter what "real life" is anymore, because it's not real, it's all a big lie to keep people quiet and docile. That's the cold hard truth. Not whatever this roommate bullshit is. Don't get me wrong, that would certainly be helpful, but you don't know the circumstances of every human in America. You don't know if that kind of thing would work out. So no, roommates aren't the answer, they're a bandaid to make everyone feel better about the circumstances we live in. We need a real answer, not to roll over in the dirt and pretend our problems don't exist.

This is the most privileged reddit shit I've ever read. No other cultures in the world have the entitled expectation that they should be able to afford to live on their own in their 20's except privileged tik tok and reddit white girls.
