I think, nowadays, lots of people want to be independent. No one thinks about his future. About the life, that waits for this person. But in fact, it wouldn't be so easy, as you want. So there are advantages and disadvantages of being independent.
One of the advantage is that nobody shouts at you. Besides, no one controlls you and says you what to do.
But if you don't have money or you're scared to stay alone - it's not for you. You ought to be always alone. You don't have people to talk with and nobody can help you.
So, every person have to decide it by himself.
