There are roughly 92 million millennials in the US and it’s quite interesting to know that the percentage of these young adults when it comes to moving out from their parents’ house, is lower than before. The number of these young adults staying with their parents outweighed the percentage of these millennials living alone which is approximately 14% of them, with age ranging from 18-34 years old.

If you’re also one of them, here are some of the simple guidelines that you could follow after you have moved out.

Freedom should not be the prime source

Some of the millennials tend to seek for freedom and they wanted to be out of the spotlight that their parents built for them. Only to find out that after they moved out, they concluded that there is no such thing as absolute freedom. They might run away from their responsibilities at home, yet they couldn’t get away with their responsibilities as young adults. They will buy their supplies, pay their bills, and their other needs with the use of their own salaries.

By moving out, you don’t entirely escape from being dependent. Ask yourself, did you moved out because you want to escape from your responsibilities or you’re moving out because you wanted to experience the true meaning of freedom? The decision still depends on you.

Check your things properly

The checklist that you made will be a sort of a bucket list that is needed to be fulfilled once you’re done with moving out. If the long distance moving company already done with unloading your things, don’t unpack it first, make sure that everything is complete just by referring on your checklist. If you think that it’s okay for you to unpack everything, then you might opt to do it.

This is just a simple reminder so that you will not regret losing an important thing that might, unfortunately, hinder you from being productive.

Don’t be overpowered by your own rules

After moving out, you tend to implement rules for yourself. Rules that you think would help you to become better. Sadly, sometimes, these rules seem to break you. You start forgetting your reasons why you moved out and why you’re not living with your parents because you’re being governed by the rules you created.

At this point, you might need to reassess yourself and look for other options in maintaining your focus for you to be able to achieve your goals.  

Practice the art of asking

You’re just a young adult and you don’t know everything so, it’s really okay to ask from time to time most especially if you don’t know what to do anymore. You’ve just moved out and you still don’t know where and what to start, you may not aware of it but your parents are just waiting for you to call them once you needed something.

Your parents will never judge you no matter how naïve you are when it comes to doing household chores, they were once just like you. Pick up your phone and start dialing for your parents’ number.

Nobody is going to help you in that phase of your life aside from your parents. Don’t underestimate your parents. You won’t be who you are today without their care and guidance. It’s okay to ask for some money to be able to help you to start up but never abuse it.

Always think about productivity

Don’t make your extra time as your napping time. You can take a rest for a short period of time and it should never exceed 45 minutes. Just because you’re already working, you should use your weekends as the time to stroll at the mall or to chill with your pet. Use it as a chance for you to be productive and to earn extra income for your other needs aside from the thing you’re using at home.

You can do DIYs or if you know how to cook or bake, you can sell your products to your neighbors. Here’s the catch, you can have  little chitchats with the people near you, at the same time. You’re not just gaining money, you’re also gaining friends.

Be the millennial you want to be

Whether you deny this or not, sometimes, you are afraid to be judged. Even if you have already moved out from your parents’ house, you’re still careful with your actions. With the expectations that the world is giving you, you wanted to keep up with them. You wanted to be someone they wanted to be or, better yet, exceed them.

Always keep in mind that you’ve just moved out and you’re just starting to build your own spotlight with the lesser help from your parents. First times are full of inevitable mistakes.

Moving out is not an easy task and, also, the kind of situation you will going to face after moving out. There will be series of dramas and long conversations that you will share with your parents and everything will surely stress you out. On the positive side, consider this phase of your life as a rebirth stage, do things that will make you productive in your career and at the same time, a better person, so that you won’t end up regretting moving out of your parents’ house.
