According to Eric Klinenberg in his opinion paper One's Crowd nowadays more people are living alone than never. This seems to reflect the modern values such as freedom and individualism. In my opinion, living alone when you are young has more positive points than negative points. Privacy, freedom and self-realization are the main advantages of living alone.
Privacy is one something high valued in our society. Many people spend money just to protect their intimacy and when you live alone you have full privacy. Nobody will invade your space, cross the limits,because the whole space is for you.
In addition, you have freedom to come and go when you want, and invite who you want to come to your home. You will also have freedom to be alone to just think. Is difficult to have sometime alone just to think, usually people tend to not respect it, specially, my friends, although I respect them,because I understand the importance of this kind of moment. The freedom also does respect to time because you won't have children or family to take care, so you will have more time to socialize and go to events.
Finally, live alone is a challenge. In terms of organization and finances every day presents a new obstacle to be overcame. So when you starts to manage them have a great feeling of self realization, you start to get more mature and in the end of each month you will realize how much you growth and how many problems you solved. This brings a great feeling of accomplishment.
To sum up, living alone is great experience and adds a lot of new values and experience to our lives, and also give a lot of privacy, freedom and a feeling of self-realization are the most notorious advantages of living by yourself.
