Come February 24, it will be our 1 month anniversary from moving out of my inlaws' house and moving in to an apartment near my workplace. After living together in my inlaws house for more than 4 years, it was a rather difficult decision to make for me and my husband.
Moving solo is definitely not easy especially when you have two kids in tow. Being dependent to your family wherever side you choose to stay will somehow make a parasite in you. You always tend to share expenses and problems so it makes everything easier somehow.
Moving out is like starting all over again, starting from scratch or being back to zero but the big difference now for us is that we already have kids that we have to consider. One good thing though is that they are small enough not to question our decision.... hahaha..
Realization took place during the day we moved out. We only have the basics of everything and we do not even have our own ref!!!! But nevertheless, we survived our first week going solo. Good thing a lot of Save More grocery store are popping and popping from places to places that you would not miss the mall and I do not have to go to the wet market for the daily dinner.
Moving solo has its advantages and disadvantages. It gives you freedom, a lot of it. Freedom in doing things that you are not able to do before when you are under the roof of your family or relatives. You can have your own menu for the week. My kids eat whatever food is on the table. i gotta take care of my own family. The responsibility of taking care of my usband and my kids are always prioritized. And i can wake up a little later than anyone of you... hahaha... The only disavantage I can think of is the burden of expenses when the bills comes up. hahaha. Who would not want to share expenses???
So for those couple who are planning to get married, I just have one advice for you: go solo once you got married! It will be a completely different set up and experience but definitely it will be a good one for you.
