Update: I moved out to a 350 sq.ft studio apartment in Dubai! It's been the most *expensive*, but also fruitful journey to live alone, manage my own expenses, finances and more. Moving out was something I put on my vision board in 2021, and within exactly 12 months my dream has come true.
Watch this video to know all my expenses I've incurred moving out, why I think it's important to make this crucial decision, whether I feel lonely and loads more.

I think that with internet today , everyone feels the urge to live alone. Todays generation has been pampered so much with less physical work thanks to automatic washing machines, vacuum cleaners etc and cooked food so easily available in restaurants that no one now wants to live as a family. Its a big change and something which will defintely impact the future of the happy family that we now know. Here, you have a ready family and still you want to move out as the freedom to live alone, experiment , party is more than everything. You think it will be for few months or year , but I will tell you upfront that you will never be satisfied with any one else as once you live alone then you can never adjust with anybody.

@TwinkleStanly Год назад

Have you lived alone?

@TwinkleStanly Год назад

Since you’ve not replied, let me address your comment. 1. “Today’s generation has been pampered…”. Pampered? Advancement in technology is meant to make your life easier. What’s wrong in that? Why are you glorifying manual labour? Do you not use washing machines? Are you still adamant on hand-washing clothes? Why do you want to make a hard life sound rewarding? 2. “…party more than anyone.” Funny that I didn’t even mention that anywhere? 3. “You will never be satisfied with anyone else.” I believe that is the point sir. The fact that many women do not know how to live alone and fend for something *is* the reason they stay in toxic relationships, abusive marriages and so on. Women NEED this period of individuality so that when they marry old-fashioned traditional people like you, they’re not scared of cutting it off to live alone. I rather thrive living alone than be stuck living with a man. Off to party now xx

Id advise you delete this comment, its a ridiculous comment. Just because you live alone doesnt mean you can't adjust when with other people in the future, everyone needs to have a period where they have the space and time to learn about themselves so they can perform better for themselves and have better experiences with themselves and with others.

Moving out to live alone when I turned 20 was the best decision and unlike the boomer in the comment section- my mum actually supported the decision because as she said "you need to learn how the world works". I did learn a lot on how the adult life works, responsibilities, and it helped me organize my finance, bills, documents, and uni classes effectively, and I'm smarter with my money too. When I first moved out, I started by moving in with a friend's friend, and that taught me a lot.

@lunar2277 Год назад

good. you will never tire of living alone. as women, we are expected to bend and twist to suit everyone else. You are right when you say "we are individuals"! Yes, we are human, and have likes and dislikes and the right to feel able to express ourselves and feel comfortable and at peace in our own homes. So often, men dominate these spaces and we find ourselves adjusting to their realities. To have a space, one's home, to be wholely ones self without compromise is not "lucky" or "a gift", it's our right. As Virginia Wolf rightly says... "A room of one's own". All the best to you

@brickframer7242 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your journey Twinkle! I just like you live away from my family in the UAE and I often contemplate the amount of money I could save by living with them. But living alone has made me self-sufficient and I believe that's more important in the long term than any money I could save in the short term. Also I completely agree that it's therapeutic to have your own space where you can be yourself

I love the fact that you pointed out that we should also celebrate living alone, I badly wanted to do it but due to some reasons i couldn't. Im very greatful for the family and life I have but sometimes I just imagine how it would have been to stay alone before the marriage and a child. And it also help us to understand if we have to stay or leave, when we are in an abusive or toxic relationship. Glad that i stumbled upon your video ❤

Looking at your video today I saw my daughter in you who would also grow up to start living alone or with her friends in Dubai maybe.. I admire your guts dear child bcoz I think I saw an Indian girl for the first time in uae who is bought up in uae and ventured out to stay alone in uae itself..

Salam for 28000 a year which is $7700 you can stay with your parents save your 2-3 yrs or 1 yr salary and than put a down payment and do monthly emi so you don’t waste your money, rent is just throwing away money. This would be investing your work money and when you sell property you get your money back plus more. I know lot of younger generations don’t think like older generation but I tell same to my nieces, nephews brother etc…

there is no way female at 24 years old can rent a studio alone, it is too expensive, salaries are for most people in Dubai is 5000-8000 aed monthly and studio furmished starts from 5000 aed in far places, this girl is misleading when talking about 36000 year payment for studio. There are no such prices in Dubai. 5000 aed monthly and plus or 50000aed year payment is minimum what you get. Female at their 24 are not getting salary higher than what i described unlesss they are escort or having support from the men. Live in Dubai is very difficult and expensive. Unless your monthly salary is less than 12000aed per month you will nearly survive only
