Sharing ground wire between two dedicated circuits


Planning to install two dedicated 20amp circuits with Romex 10/3 and 10/2 Cable. The run is about 70 feet. Have learned that the 10/3 as an insulated ground versus 10/2 which has a ground wire but it's not insulated.

Idea has been proposed to share the insulated ground from the 10/3 wire with the other 10/2 dedicated circuit. Achieves the same thing at a lot less cost? Does this make sense?

I would never waste any money on Romex.

Nothing wrong with Non Metallic cable AKA Romex,  in my opinion, steel  armored Metal Clad cable, with steel receptacle boxes is better for dedicated audio circuits. Example: better shielding from electric fields and radio frequency interference.😎
