I prefer to live alone because I think that sharing with someone means adjusting to their lifestyle and sometimes it's hard to find the right partner.

In my opinion, sharing a house can be a good idea if you are looking for saving some money and the fact of losing your privacy doesn´t bother you. On the other hand, I prefer living alone as long as I can financially support it.

TBH if I were a single, I prefer living with housemate/s , because there's lots of benefit.

I prefer to live alone because you have your privacy but when you move a big cities, it prefers to live with housemates because you spend less.

I prefer share a house because I'll reducer rent for an apartment. If I'm sick, they'll take care me. This's help me more fine and safe.

I would prefer to live alone, but sometimes is difficult and expensive mainly in big cities so in this case it's okay for me to share a house. When I move to work in the city center, I usually rent a room in a house with share kitchen and living room. I like it...

I prefer to live alone. But sometimes it's financially impossible to do so especially in big cities, that's when sharing comes handy and save us a lot of cash.

It depends, I prefer to live alone and have my own house. It would be much expensive. It is pretty good to share house if anyone single and college student. It is best suited for college students because it's much cheaper.

It depends, I prefer to live alone and have my own house, but it'd be much expensive. Sharing a house is pretty good if I’m looking for a better price, and also I’m a college student, so it suits me better because it’s much cheaper.

I prefer living a long when you're young a single.
