LIFESTYLE
 A lifestyle is a way a person or group of people live,
including their habits, behaviors, practices, and
possessions. It can also refer to the values, attitudes, and
choices that shape a person's life and influence their
decisions. For example, someone who values
environmental sustainability might live a lifestyle that
includes behaviors such as recycling, using public
transportation, and buying locally-grown and produced
goods. A person's lifestyle can be influenced by a variety
of factors, including culture, background, personal
preferences, and economic circumstances.
INDEPENDENT LIFESTYLE:
 An independent lifestyle refers to a way of living in which
a person is self-sufficient and able to make their own
decisions and choices without relying on others for support
or assistance. This can involve financial independence, as
well as independence in other areas such as personal
relationships, decision-making, and daily activities. An
independent lifestyle may also involve living
independently, without the support or assistance of others,
either in a standalone home or apartment or in a shared
living arrangement such as a co-housing community. It can
also involve being able to manage one's own time and
schedule, and having the freedom to pursue one's own
interests and goals.
DIFFER B/W INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT
LIFESTYLE

 Independent life refers to living independently, without relying

on others for support or assistance. This can include being
financially independent, making decisions for oneself, and
being responsible for one's own well-being.
 On the other hand, dependent life refers to relying on others for
support and assistance. This can include being financially
dependent on someone else, relying on others to make
decisions for you, or relying on others to take care of your basic
needs.
WHY DO PEOPLE CHOOSE TO LIVE
INDEPENDENTLY?
 There are many reasons why someone might choose to live
independently. Some people value the freedom and
autonomy that comes with living on their own. Others may
want to have more control over their living situation and
surroundings. Living independently can also provide an
opportunity to learn important life skills, such as
budgeting, cooking, and cleaning. Some people may
choose to live independently because they want to live in a
certain location or because they want to live with a partner
or roommate. Ultimately, the decision to live
independently is a personal one that depends on an
individual's circumstances, preferences, and goals.

INDEPENDENT LIFESTYLE CAUSES
 There are several potential causes for an independent lifestyle.
Some people may choose to live independently because they value
their personal freedom and autonomy. Others may prefer to live
independently because they have a strong sense of self-reliance and
prefer to make their own decisions about how they live their lives.
 Some people may also choose to live independently due to financial
or practical considerations. For example, they may be unable to
afford the cost of living with roommates or may prefer to have their
own space. Additionally, some people may live independently due
to personal circumstances, such as being in a relationship or having
children, that make it more practical to live on their own.

whether or not an independent lifestyle is positive or negative
depends on an individual's personality, circumstances, and support
system.

who have already made the transition and get their perspective on the
pros and cons of independent living.
