<prompt> Human: I have a relative, at 22 years old, in the process of purchasing a house with three of his other colleagues, whom he works and gets along with. Im not entirely sure what the agreement is between all four of them, but the fact this will be his first place on his own even though living with others where hes responsible for his own bills, etc. As a concerned family member, and for those whove experienced this first hand, do you think its a good idea for him to buy a home with these other guys, or venture out on his own? Thanks for the responses.  <response>: Very Very incredibly bad idea. peoples lives change. when someone wants out of the mortgage it will be hell
