I'm 28 years old female, never really lived alone before because i thought that the only time i'll be moving out is when am going to get married. I'm still single and planning to sell the house that my brother and I bought a year ago. Now, he's getting married this year and i really don't want to live with them.

If you can afford to live alone, that's what I would suggest. If you have a roommate, they can get loud, wake you up coming in at all hours of the night, etc. If you can't afford it, then get a GOOD roommate!

I truly believe that a person needs to live alone at least a short time in their life to get the understanding that they can survive that way. If you aren't looking forward to an empty house, invite a girl or guy friend to stay over occasionally. This will give you some companionship and you will still have your independence. If you decide at some point that you do want a roommate, keep in mind that many friendships have dissolved by living together. The little faults seem to come out over a period of time that drive each other crazy(sometimes that happens in marriage too). At any rate if you can be happy living alone for awhile, you will also appreciate sharing your life with someone special later on because of the addition of the constant companionship that you will be missing as you get older.

You really don't have much of a choice do you. Can you afford to live by yourself? How well do you get along with his soon to be wife? Would she even let you live with them and if so how long before the stress becomes to much?
She may get jelous if you and your brother are too close for her comfort. It sounds like you are not even veying the option to move in with a friend or any other relative. I
s there enough room to move into the house with your brother? All these things need to be addressed before you can even submit to a decision. Did you take this up with bro and if you did, how was his attitude?
I think you need to talk to him first (without his wife) then when you two can hit on an idea, bring it to her. She may need the company if he works alot, also the cooking and cleaning can be shared if you all work.
If you can make it on your own I actually feel that would be the best for all concerned. Even if you do live together you probably would not do it for long as I am sure kids will be popping into the picuture soon enough and you don't want to be the first person to be called to babysit.

Time for you to brave the world alone and be independent. You can still do lots of stuff with friends and family - don't worry, you won't get lonely, but it's really good to try living alone well before you ever get married. You will learn a lot about yourself, and that's a good thing.

Spread your wings child. The freedom you'll find being completely self reliant, you may never want to go back to having a roommate. You can decorate however you'd like, go through the house naked if you want, buy and eat anything you want. the list goes on and on and on,
Take it from an old buzzard with clipped wings. Enjoy your freedom while your young enough to enjoy it.
I flew very high when I was younger and I'm glad I did.
Hope this helps, email if you need to

It was scary for me the first time I lived by myself.After I did it a while I got to where I liked it.The problems with room mates, they move out, they get on your nerves, your privacy is disrupted, they bring people home,make plans that affect you, you have to ALWAYS take them into consideration when planning anything.Not so when you live alone.You come and go when you want, your house is as clean or dirty as you want,you dont have to consult anyone for anything, your privacy isnt compromised.

that's the finest to stay on my own. you may walk out the bathe bare, have a quiet homestead to urself, invite over who u want, every time u want. do not problem bout feelin on my own, you'll make acquaintances and the finest issue about that's once you don't need everyone round you may kindly tell em to leave. you cant do this with roommate, its exceedingly a lot like ur in a relationship.

I always lived alone, almost always, when single. Your social life, when with a roommate/friend, tends to revolve around them. If you want to bring people home etc. it's awkward.

Its better to live alone, that way you dont have to deal with the drama that room mates bring. It will only stress you out if you have to deal with disagreements between room mates and yourself. If you can afford it, live alone!

living alone allows you to take of yourself and be self reliant. Roomates are a pain in the rear and you will some how get screwed by them
