Part 5/9:
After a full day of work, the individual bikes home, purposely avoiding the busy evening rush. Living in Northern Virginia, where renting can be exorbitantly expensive, they share a townhouse with three roommates, which helps lower their rent. By doing so, they save around $2,000 per month while enjoying the benefits of having their own private bedroom and bathroom.
Once home, dinner is usually a home-cooked meal, as eating out is considered too costly. They prefer to cook rather than dine out, with social occasions being the only exception to this routine.
