Jumping off from my previous WWYD column, I woke up this morning to find a bunch of messages on Twitter from some fine folks discussing what percentage of their income they spend on rent.

I live alone. It was a decision I made last year, because I could afford to do it, and also because sometimes you just want to live by yourself.

I called my brother and told him I was thinking about living alone. "Really?" he responded. "I mean, I would never want to live alone, but I guess some people like it."

I once had a roommate who was terrible.
