5 Fab Benefits of Living Alone
If you were to ask a dozen married people what they miss about their life before they moved in with their spouse, it would probably involve something to do with their living situation. Although it may not be for everyone, there are so many amazing benefits to living alone. Whether you’re downsizing to a smaller house, or creating a space that feels more authentic to you as a person, you can easily find joy when living by yourself.
Here are five fab benefits of living alone!
-
Enjoying Your Own Space
You don’t have to compromise on anything when you have a place of your own. If you’re moving in with someone you will need to take their preferences into consideration and make sure they are happy with the house or apartment you choose. However, you have complete freedom to pick any place you want and enjoy each moment of having your own space. Whether you’re looking into a chic Apartment with washer/dryer or you want a close-by coffee shop, you can choose all of the amenities that are important to you without having to compromise!
-
Opportunities To Meet Others
When you live alone you have so many opportunities to mingle with others and make new friends. Living with a partner or housemate can often make you feel tied down to that person, but living solo allows you to spread your wings and make new connections.
-
No Obligation to Stay Home
Sharing a home with someone can often mean that you feel obliged to spend time with them or stay at home to keep them company. When you live by yourself, you are much more likely to do things on your own terms rather than have your schedule dictated by someone else.
-
Cooking For Yourself
There is something so enjoyable about spending time in the kitchen in the evening and cooking yourself a delicious dinner. Researching new recipes and getting into the process of cooking is also extremely satisfying! You don’t have to consider anyone else’s preferences or dietary requirements; you can simply enjoy cooking for yourself and soak in the peace and quiet of being in your kitchen in the evening.

Choosing Your Own Home Décor
If you’re a creative person at heart, you are probably extremely eager to start decorating your home in a way that makes you feel good. You don’t need to consult anybody about paint colors, or ask them to split the bill for new furniture. Every decision you make can be on your own terms and in keeping with your personal style. It’s time to start researching the top interior design trends and create a chic and stylish place that reflects your unique personality!
As you can see, there are so many advantages to living solo, whether you’re selecting the perfect apartment or enjoying cooking for yourself, you can thrive in a living environment on your own without any stress or worries at all!
Oh yes, I love being alone. You can do what you want, when you want. I mean, it gets lonely, but the freedom is lovely.
I used to live in a very small apartment for 2 years alone until I remarried and oh my. I loved it. I really did for many of the reasons you stated.
I think these are all great benefits to living alone. It can be great being alone and having all that time to yourself.
While I like the benefits of living by myself, I would be lonely. I do like my alone time.
Man, that alone time back in the day was priceless! I use to do everything at my own pace and having that personal space was so relaxing!
I can see how living alone would have its perks. I would get too lonely though!
Living alone has been a transformative experience for me! The freedom, personal growth, and peace it brings are truly unmatched. Highly recommend embracing solo living!
I would have no issue living alone these days. I love the idea of doing as I please and choosing what to watch on the TV
My son is staying by himself for the summer quarter at college and definitely mentions he enjoys it (though I worried if he would get too lonely since he did have roommates the last couple of years he has moved to college).. and these are some of the reasons he mentions as well..
These are some great points and tips for those living alone. Thank you for sharing!

So many great reasons to enjoy living solo 😉 I do love spending time alone at times but also love enjoying the company of my family as much as possible.
If I am still a single today, this is I don’t want to miss! I would love to learn and know more about myself by living alone.
Living alone seems a lot of benefits. I always thought that you have a chance to dive deep about you.
I personally like living with my family. I don’t know if I could live alone, but thanks for the information.
I have to admit that I like living by myself. Well my son lives with me too. But I like my personal space and don’t have to worry about someone else like a significant other or husband.
