The moment has arrived. You finally have the financial independence you needed to start an autonomous adult life. Although your relationship with your parents is truly excellent, you need your space. That’s why you are clear that you are going to leave home. However, there is one issue that holds you back. You have never lived completely alone and you don’t know if you will be able to get used to this situation. What you are sure of is that you do not want to invest and rent a nice apartment in the Gothic Quarter and spend your days at your relatives’ house. You also don’t clearly see the possibility of sharing an apartment, since you don’t know if starting your experience with a stranger is the best option. Don’t worry because at Gumper we are going to balance the positive and negative aspects associated with each of the options, so you can make a more informed decision.
