You have finally decided that it's time to go solo and live that independent life. You’re just so over with your roommate’s habits. From not washing their used dishes to blasting their loud stereo music in the middle of the night. The good thing is that the lease is expiring soon and you just can’t wait to finally find your own space. This means that you'll be left alone in peace.

Now, here are the 3 Most Important Things to Remember Before Going Solo:

You must be okay with being alone.

It is important that you are okay with being alone whatever the situation is. Practicing doing things by yourself and getting used to it might help you with this one. You can’t just run away from your own home because the storm shuts down the electricity supply and you’re scared of being alone in the dark.

You must ensure that you’re safe in your new place.

You can start by checking the furniture, appliances, and wiring. Making sure that they’re not broken prevents you from unwanted accidents (who likes accidents anyway?). Another factor to take into consideration is that there is a security system in place. You can install SadoTech Starpoint MD 1 which would alert you when someone is opening your door. You might have blackbelt in Taekwondo but being caught off guard already puts you at a disadvantage. That's why it's better to have a good alarm system.

You have enough funds to go solo.

How will you pay the lease if you’re not financially capable to do so? Where will you get the money to fix the broken door or faucet? How about the bills? Having budgeting skills is also necessary when you live alone.

To sum it up, don’t go solo if you’re not yet ready. Living alone might not be as easy as it seems. It can get overwhelming and scary at times. It is also much more expensive compared to having a roommate whom you can share the expenses with. However, living alone means living on your own terms and it makes it all worth it.
