<prompt> Human: Situation: graduating from college next May, starting a job in July at a bank in Atlanta that pays 60k modest bonus. I have no student loans or debt of any kind, already own a car, and will not need to make any large purchases in the next few years. I would prefer to live alone, but I have always been a frugal person and want to make sure I can really truly afford it. Heres a list of the pros and cons that Ive taken into consideration--I would be grateful for your thoughtsadvice or personal experiences on this topic! Having never lived alone before I am sure I probably missed something. Thank you in advance. :Proscan find pretty decent not cockroach infested, at least singles for 800mo, a lot more options at 1000mo.will be in a long-distance relationship; not having to worry about roommates when he comes to visit, or when my brother or best friend come to visit from another state, would be wonderfulplan on having a small pet most likely cat, as Im afraid I wont be able to have time to take care of a dog and dont want to deal with roommate issues on this issuehave pretty good habits cooking, working out, socializing so probably wont become a lazy couch potatoConscurrently pay 700mo in rent, and have never paid more than that. Although it seems 800-1000 is a good deal for a single, when it comes down to it, Im afraid I will cringe every time that amount is drawn from my accountnobody to split utilities, bills, etc withmight get lonelysafety? tl;dr Graduating next year with a stable job, no debt and no financial obligations; seriously considering living alone for once but not used to that level of rent expense even if its worth it. What to do? What else to take into consideration? edit: failed at formatting  <response>: It really depends on you. You are in a great place, financially- but you need to decide for yourself if living alone is what you really want. This isnt a financial decision.
