Haha. It was a lot because there was a lot of turmoil in my family at the time, but it was also wonderful because I saved money, had immediate access to a washing machine, dinner was always on the table when I got home, and I was able to help my little brother with his school work. I love having my own space, but I really do miss the comfort of living at home!<br /><br />XX, SS || <a href="http://seersuckersass.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A Little Seersucker Sass</a>Seersucker Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699153362027701903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978837621824249352.post-89525875280185079012015-08-25T22:04:02.366-05:002015-08-25T22:04:02.366-05:00I can imagine these cons being annoying!

That's seriously such a great idea! When I moved home I really thought it was the end of the world, but honestly I kinda love it now. It was probably easier for me though because I had never really been on my own, I went from the dorm to 3 years living in my sorority house to graduating and moving back home.

I hated being in the burbs and having a long commute to work, but I sure did love how cheap it was! Paying rent still crushes my soul. Save as much money as humanely possible and don't blow all your money shopping like I did, haha!<br /><br />xo, Alicia | <a href="http://www.aliciatenise.com" rel="nofollow">Alicia Tenise</a>Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919848358310045006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978837621824249352.post-87505226061323641102015-08-25T10:10:43.076-05:002015-08-25T10:10:43.076-05:00I definitely relate to this post!

While I'd love to have more space from time to time, it was definitely the right decision for me (rent in Toronto is ridiculous).
