living at home or on your own....

I have lived on my own for the past two years and the things that I have learned have been the most valubale lessons. As wonderful as not having to pay rent and buying grocerys or paying a electric bill maybe. Living with parents can make you overly dependent on them which can create more of a problem for everyone. After first moving out on my own I was in such a shock it was horrible. I ended up having to go get a new job just to afford all the new bills that I for some reason thought that I would just have money to pay for. Along this road I have learned the value of a dollar, the responsibility of having your owns bills to pay, and how having your own space and privacy can be nice that alone is just another responsibility.

Living with parents are also good for you are close to your family you can request them to do something for you at home while you are still on your way but its also good living on your own for this can measure if you are really indepedent and can do things on your own without relying on your own.

With parents, you have lots of benefits like not having to cook or do housework or looking after the children as they are there to help and you can go out to work and have financial freedom. You even have freedom to have a romantic time just you and your spouse. Just remember to have a maid to assist. When you have parents, somebody is there to keep an eye on things, somebody that you can trust and with their many experiences, when something happens, example your child falls sick, they know just what to do. And if your parents aren't poor, your burden are lightened a lot with their help too. The only thing you have to remember is to show respect to your parents. And securing a good relationship with parents is also advantages in that if your spouse stray or is bad, somebody will be there to stand up for you. The only down is that you do not have so much privacy, be it quarrel or teasing or flirting but you can always go outside for that with parents around. Besides, with children around, flirting or teasing privacy is also gone, the only thing you may feel at ease to do in front of children is quarrel, and you don't have the freedom to go outside and have a twosome time if you are by yourself. So what do you think, which in general is better? Unless you are the very headstrong type that don't like to listen to elders and find their advice annoying and so can't show respect, then it is better to be by yourself.

I'm still live with my parents but for now I'm stay with my friends at the rented house at other place because its near to my studies place. I think live with friends is more fun and exciting but when I live with my friends I always miss my family. Live with friends also have the cons because you live on your own. We need to take care ourselves. I need to wash my own clothes and make my own foods. We need to clean our house once a week to make sure everyone is comfortable. But live with parents I don't see any cons. If people said about privacy. I don't think so. They are my parents and I share everything with them and so are they. Plus if you have any problems in your life you can asked their advise. I always treats my parents as my friends and have a great respects for them.

Hi. I moved out of my parent's house when I was still sixteen years old. I went to the city, which is many miles away from our province, to study college. I have never lived in our ancestral home since then. I am now 29 years old and I just visit our home in the province once a year. When I was still living with my parents, I felt secured and protected. But I wasn't that free to decide on my own. I was totally dependent on my parents in terms of decision-making. In the city, I don't know of any relatives. I became independent and had the opportunity to exercise my free will in terms of decision-making. The only disadvantage is that I didn't have anybody to depend on whenever I was sick or has no enough money to sustain my basic school needs.

Living at home with your parents means rules and regulations and who wants to have those. Living on your own means free to do what ever you want whenever you want without having to answer to anyone. So I guess you go figure which one is better.

I'm pretty sure living on your own is better privacy wise but possibly living with your parents or someone else is better financially. Then again it just depends on your life style. Some parents would let you live rent free so that could save you a good deal of money. I mean you could find a descent place for an affordable rent, if you're by yourself. If you have a job I think you'll be better off living on your own. But if you're not quite stable then you should try living with your parents or someone else.
