In case anybody wants to hear a different bell, I am probably as wealthy as jack9 and equally happy about my lifestyle, but I love people and I've never lived alone in all my life. My opinion is that it's more a matter of having different social needs and sensitivity, than being economically independent. Or maybe it's what you think of yourself -- I know for a fact that there are always smarter and more interesting and different people out there and I'd love to know them and experience life with them. It's a basic need I feel that doesn't depend on whether I'm able to support myself or not.
