<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I'm a 21 yr old male wanting to move closer to school. My friend (also 21 and male) has a good trade job and is just looking to live in the city. We've been friends since grade school.

I've heard plenty of times don't room with close friends. I was wondering if it's ever actually a good idea. Like maybe that saying only applies to kids fresh out of highschool. We're both pretty reclusive and independent. So I think we'd stay out of eachothers hair. One thing I'm worried about is that he has more money and might not care about wasting electricity and such, which is not ok with me.
<bot>: Is rooming with a longtime friend a good idea? We're both mature, and keep to ourselves. Were both 21 yr old males. He makes more money then me.
