Ouccch. Yeah I'm not feeling great about it at all but I'm thinking the same. I also still have the flexibility of a month to month lease if I stay, and moving is expensive.
It also sucks as a single person as actual minimum rent doesn't go down much the further out you go, you just get a larger house, so no cost savings unless you go back into house sharing.
I'm in the same position. No fucking way am I going back to share housing. Finally having peace and quiet is worth the insane rent cost unfortunately.
