You are ready to leave home if you can do the following;(Part 1)

It always gets exciting when you start thinking of leaving home. It’s obvious, you can take your independence and leave home but without money, it’s going to be really difficult. Leaving home is a crazy idea that hits the minds of most adolescents. But now that you’re an adult, do you still want to leave home?

Indeed, life is complex, but deciding about leaving home is one huge responsibility. Some years ago, I had this crazy idea of leaving home. I had no idea of where I’ll go to, all i knew was I needed to be independent. To me, it seemed sleeping under a bridge was more comfortable than sleeping in our house, as long as I can be free and do whatever I wanted. Weird, right? But almost all adolescents think about it. Some don’t only think about it, but they also actually go ahead to leave home without a plan..

You need to have a place where you’ll live;

When you feel ready and able to be on your own, the first step is to get a place to stay. It mustn’t be an apartment you bought with your money, the place need not to be luxurious, remember at the beginning it’ll be difficult to stay alone but your focus should be a good accommodation. You could equally get an apartment and share the rent with friends.

But where do I really belong?
