Is it easier or difficult to live alone?

Both!

Living alone is easier because the house stays just the way you left it (clean or messy), your items stay just where you left them, and you can watch whatever TV program you want when you want.

Living alone is difficult because is sure gets lonely after a while.....

I like living alone. There's no one to answer to. There's no one to blame but yourself. If something doesn't get done it's all your fault. Everything can be set as you like it. There's no need to compromise. Pants are entirely optional.

On the flipside it can get lonely sometimes. Everything falls on you, which could be good or bad depending on the type of person you are.

I guess it really depends on whether you're an independent person or whether you tend to be co-dependent.

I think this would depend on the financial and mental stability of the individual.
