Living alone in a condominium or an apartment is a dream many young professionals want for themselves. Not only does it give them total freedom over their own affairs, but it also gives them a space to grow and find themselves in the process.
It can be both exhilarating and scary at the same time—but it’s certainly not for everyone. Here are the pros and cons of living alone in the Philippines.
Pros
You have full control
As mentioned, living alone gives you total freedom of how you would like to run the household. Pick the furniture pieces you like, arrange your things the way you want, and even set the rules for yourself. Whatever you want to do, you do it yourself.
Your privacy is guaranteed
The great thing about living alone is, your privacy is guaranteed! Of course, you have to respect the privacy of your neighbors too. But for the most part, you’re free to do everything without worrying about your privacy or someone judging your decisions.
You clean your own mess
When living with a roommate or your family, you may be left with no choice but to clean the mess that you don’t own. After all, you’re sharing your space with other people. When living alone, you can save the trouble of keeping the common spaces clean at your own expense.
Cons
It can get sad and boring
Living alone is great, but it can get too old too quickly. You may find yourself sad and bored because you have no one else to talk to. Loneliness can really hit you when you’re not feeling well and there’s no one to cheer you up.
It’s all your responsibility
If you ever run out of drinking water or gas, you can’t rely on someone to order it out for you. It can be a hassle to sort them, especially after a long day when you simply want to rest. Keeping your house running is all your responsibility when living alone.
It can be more expensive
Living alone can be really expensive because you shoulder all expenses. Of course, you can skimp as much as you can, but you can only do so much. At the end of the day, you have to pay for groceries, utilities, maintenance, and rent if you have one.
