I really don't see how likes traveling follows of course, isn't it way more frugal not to travel, and save the money one would have spent traveling while living up the staycation? Of course none of the above precludes wanting kids which probably really truly IS a dealbreaker.
Since I can think of little worse than rushing into a relationship for economic reasons, I think roommates are preferable if rent is a concern, or else just deal with high rent, and realize a certain amount of the paycheck is going to go to rent and oh well (as long as the paycheck can pay the rent why sweat it too much, or consider buying if it makes sense).
