Housing is expensive. Now its causing married couples to save money on rent and mortgage payments by living with roommates.
The number of married couples living with roommates has doubled since 1995. That’s according to a recent report from real estate site Trulia.
More than a quarter-million married people now live with a roommate, especially in pricey cities on the West Coast.
For example, in Honolulu and Orange Country, Calif., the number of married couples with roommates is between four and five times the national rate.
San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego
Those same cities all have well above average rental and housing costs.
