That's a ridiculous statement to make. I live with a roommate and love it even though I could afford to live by myself. We have a really nice central apartment and get more social interaction. People making different choices than you aren't "living in squalor." You're going to have a hard time convincing me that a luxury apartment with separate bedrooms is squalor.
