Millennials are the generation of work force today. As they approach to proper adulthood a few will be looking at different priorities and goals in their life. One common thing will become their denominator and that is to live independently away from their guardians, parents, or family.
However, there are a few setbacks and doubts on this generation’s mindset and several factors are being weighed on their options. If you are reading this, you might be one of these individuals who keep thinking if its about time to live independently.
This article will shed light on the important considerations for anyone who is skeptical or in jitters if moving out from your family will be a relevant decision today. Here are a few factors that you need to realize and check before you decide on a life-changing course.
You Have a Stable Work
If you are one of the few working volumes in the country and you have been working for at least 2 years in a company, you can be able to sustain your own way of living.
Having a stable work is important to any individuals, it is also a perception of one’s worth. More importantly, if you are in a good position in your company and you are also earning more than enough for your lifestyle demands and needs.
Granted that you have this in place, then it is one factor that you may say that you can live independently without financial assistance from your family. In essence, you are really working to keep both ends meet and to feed yourself. If you got extra, you could also support your family financially.
On the onset of moving out, you must tell your family that you will be needing to arrange and plan out for the future. Thus, you will have to make them understand that you will need to financially adjust your savings as you move out. Thereafter, once you can get settled you may tell them that you can give back financially.
You Can Buy your Own Property
If you have trouble financially because of work, then moving out may not be appropriate. The source of your income can depend on your work or business and having no capacity to buy your own property is not a good sign that you can live independently.
Before moving out, a property where you will move is very important. Renting out to a particular place doesn’t suit someone like a millennial. Thus, saving or paying a property slowly is more than a recommendation but something you should take into action if you plan to live on your own means.
We encourage millennials to invest as early as possible and talk to financial advisers to map out an investment plan that comes along with a property and an insurance if possible. There are a lot of insurance or policy offices who you can trust with an investment that grows beyond time.
When you Regularly Come Home Late
Millennials are fond of social interaction, travelling, leisure, and stuffs. A lot may also be workaholic and this generation cannot deny that your parents or guardians may never stop from giving you words of advice and lectures even its late night.
When you regularly come home late nights or after dinner, it is also an indication that you might be needing a place that you can call your own. Having your own set of duplicate keys do not count on the worry and anxiety you will be giving to someone you share a roof with like your parents.
Hence, having your own place or home will give them a notice that you can live independently in the long run. It is also one way to make them accept that you have embrace responsibilities and you are an adult who can decide on your life.
Whether you come home late from a party or from a tedious daily workload, your family can no longer make an affair out of it because you have your private home to welcome you late nights. If going home late nights become a regular, then you may start to think on moving out.
When you Value your Privacy
Privacy is something that is important to anyone. It usually comes when you have a place to call your own. If you are still staying with your family then privacy is often given by the chair of the household which are your parents.
For them, once you are still under their roof you are one of their responsibilities and that doesn’t change to any Filipino households. It is one of the few reasons why most millennials would wish to have their own place of living.
In some nuclear or big families, having a kid can be quite disturbing to someone who is working at home, or to someone who wishes not to be disturbed by noise. Having to share a place to many people can guarantee that you must endure the noise inside the place.
If you Wish to Grow
Older generations might think that it can be a foolish move from a younger generation to move out and live independently. However, it is primarily an implied move or act of growing up and learning how possibilities can change one’s life.
Living independently allows you to be matured enough and face your own small and major problems. This will be a test, which anyone can either fail or pass. But no matter what, anyone will learn from it.
If you wish to grow and become knowledgeable about how reality can affect you as an individual, then you will have to move on your own steps. Plan to live independently.
What you can initially do is plan and start paying out for your future property and weigh your options more than twice. Preselling properties can be the most practical for someone who is just starting to work and financially earn on their own because of the financing terms and stretchable schemes real estate developers or brokers offer.
Hence, if you have sorted out everything you believe and you match all those references from above then, I wish you productivity in every decision you make as a person of responsibility and courage to live by their means and goals.
