3. Your fridge is often empty
When you live in a large family or share an apartment with a few roommates your fridge is never empty. Now that you have decided to live alone, you might discover that your fridge is often half-empty. From now on you will need to fill it up in order not to starve to death. There is one plus in such a situation. Whatever food you buy will always belong to you and there will never be anyone who will eat your favorite snack. Another benefit is that you will soon learn to cook, because living on processed food and constant takeouts is unhealthy and is simply a waste of your money. If a couple of weeks you will learn to shop for food, prepare it and plan your menu ahead.

4. Inviting your date and meeting people at your place
It’s hard to hide that you are in some sort of relationship when you live with your parents or roommates. Everybody would know who is visiting you, when they come to you and when they leave. They hear your conversation or even argument which is always unpleasant. Let your private life be really private. When you own an apartment you can live with your partner and never worry about what others think.
