Imagine that you come late from a college fest and get into a heated argument with your parents. We guarantee that the first thought that would strike your mind would, “Man, I wish to move out and live alone.” Now we know you love your parents but as you grow up you want to venture out on your own and be independent. That is a part of growing up. Living alone is one of those fantasies which every bachelor dreams about. When you decide to shift to a metropolitan city and take a flat on rent you will surely want to explore the city and experience the local life. But it is not always sunshine and rainbows. Living alone comes with a lot of responsibilities and hardships if you do not plan your stay properly. Let’s have a look at some wise realizations every bachelor will experience when living life solo:

1. Budgeting before you get stuck: Before even stepping out on your own you need to understand your income and expenditure. Keeping track of all your spending and saving is vital when you live independently. As you are moving into your own world, you should be clear till now about your financial priorities. Rent or partying with friends? Food or a fancy pair of shoes which you were craving for a long time? Hopefully, the answer to those questions is rent and food. 

2. “Responsible” will be your middle name: Once you are out, you have no option except to be sincere and responsible. From getting groceries to cooking food, from washing to ironing clothes, from the doorbell to dishes, you have to look after everything yourself. You are responsible for all your work since you can’t call up your mom (that would just be embarrassing) or blame your roomie (that would just lead to fighting). But on the other hand, when you are on your own, creating a mess out of your place because of your laziness won’t be an issue at all. 

3. You can be yourself, with all the weirdness: What if you are in the worst mood and just want to eat endless cupcakes, donuts, and pastries? There are moments when you just want to paste a ‘Do not Disturb’ sign on your forehead and tell everyone to mind their own business. In times like these, the perfect and peaceful accommodation in Gurgaon can become your fortress of solitude. It allows you to be yourself and deal with the situation according to your mood. You can eat pizzas and watch Netflix until four in the morning or just dress up randomly to do a photoshoot because no one will judge you. 

4. Don’t forget to be in touch: No matter when and where you decide to move, there shouldn’t be any excuse for cutting off with your family. If times get tough and you face troubles, just remember they are the only ones who’ll stand by you forever. Even if you decided to move out and live separately, asking for help from them won’t make any change, because they’ll understand as they have gone through a similar situation. 

5. Take out time for yourself: What’s the harm in treating yourself as a ‘Maharani’ or a ‘Badshah’ when you have an opportunity to do so? You can simply plan a date with yourself to enjoy your favorite munchies and coffee or turn your rented flat into a spa. When living alone and working gets outrageously overwhelming, you can get depressed or stressed. So just do things that make you happy and will help you relax.
