Living with other people has its upsides, like getting to split bills and the cost of rent, and living with your romantic partner can be great, too. But there’s also a lot to love about NOT sharing your space with anyone else. A Reddit thread asks, “What’s the most underrated advantage of living alone?”
People are sharing their favorite perks of having the whole place to themselves, including:
- “Endless bathroom privileges – hands down!”
