See, these all make sense to me, I guess. I'm in the same demographic. But I got all that out of my system in college and law school and the year between. Now that I am a hot-shot lawyer and work a lot, the last thing I want to deal with when I get home from work is some other dude in my place. And if I want to leave my shit lying around until the maid picks it up, I do. And if I fall asleep working on stuff and leave confidential shit all over the kitchen table, I don't have to worry about my roommates fucking it up or photocopying it and leaving copies at the local pizza place.
And I don't work with anyone who has a roommate, except for one woman who is really still living in her college situation, and several people who have "roommates." Chicago isn't New York, and most of the people I know who have roommates are (i) students, (ii) under 25 or (iii) can't afford not to. And I mean can't afford not to, like they make less than $40k a year, not
they're saving for a down payment.

You obviously run with a more successful crowd than I do. And I don't work at BIGLAW so I'm not raking it in. Then again, I don't hang out with lawyers. I can generally say (present company excluded) that I am mainly correct when I say that all they ever talk about is work. No thanks. I'd rather hang out with less successful but more interesting people. I graduated in 2001, apparently the worst law job market ever. Ever. Had I not gone to law school, I'd probably be making much more. Nevertheless, I'm not complaining about my situation. I'm having a blast.
