I'm from the 1900's. I learned to type on a typewriter with a dust cover over it. I can't for the life of me unlearn the "two spaces after a period" thing. I can't. It's actually impossible.

So it's absolutely worth getting used to, because otherwise you're literally paying for those extra spaces. (I also learned typing on a typewriter in school. It took me a while to get used to single spacing, but it can be done.)
